- With a credit or ID card, go around the bezel of your MacBook or earlier model MacBook Pro to loosen it.

- Get a Torx mini screwdriver and remove the screws around the edge of the LCD panel.

- Pop the LCD screen out and fold it down to the keyboard.

- Peel off the filter to reveal the back of the Apple logo.

- Pop the Apple in from the front of your notebook.

- Wet sand the back of the

Apple logo

with a 400 to 600 grit wet sandpaper.

- Once the white is removed, move on to a 1500 to 2000 grit wet sand paper.

- Once your Apple logo has been sanded clear, give it a rinse and dry it off.

- Take the gel or image you want to use and pop it behind the Apple logo and reapply the filter.

- Re-attach the LCD screen.

- Place the bezel back on by first attaching the grey clips to metal frame around the LCD panel and then attaching the bezel.
