good job but I say painting the inside chrome section of the them with flat black looks best. Especially on light colored EVOs.

hope your exacto knife had a high quality very sharp edge or else when you remove the tint you are going to see the outlines of your blinker lol

I remeber when I had the stock MR Panel but glad I since switched the the AEM Setup. If you want a real clean look check out the 52mm or 60mm dash from Gruppe-S. Here is a pic of mine.
