I have stumbled upon one of the most cost effective, winning upgrades for my miata.
What you ask?!
Can I too be 1337 like the Brain?!
Well yes sir-e-bob you can and here's how:
First, collect the following items: A razor blade, off-brand window cleaner, goo gone, some shop towels and a collection of miataturbo.net decals.

Three, install. Easy.
Wait a second...why did I skip #2? Well, like a true winner, I had first to remove my previous colors.
So let's document this as if you were already a winner, cause we all know you all rock the miataturbo.net decals today.
So...locate old decal.

utilizing your razor blade, in one fair-swoop remove the old decal.
