Default Any way to completely conceal laptop brand?

I have a Dell XPS M1330. Is there any way (perhaps some sort of custom skin) to make it so the Dell logos don't show and to cover up any sign of the Dell? I like it, but I'm trying to introduce this laptop to someone down my street that really hates dells.

You can get skins for your laptop to "cover" up the logo, but why would you want to do that?

so you wanna conceal it so that your friend says omg nice laptop and then you tell him look its a dell? :P

if its not that, im not sure why you would want too, some skins look nice but I don't like "stickers" on a laptop or any device for that matter, that's just me tho

Bondo and automotive paint. Or you could poke your friends eyes out. What are your really trying to accomplish? I mean if your friend wants to be thick headed can you really change that.

Even if you did sand it out the start up screen would still show dell. Right?

Because I'd be embarrassed of carrying around a Dell instead of my Asus myself!
