Default Help me choose graphics for my Truck (Photo Choice in post)

Well, just took delivery of my truck with it's Maaco Paint job from Las Vegas and I have to say I was very impressed. It cost about half of what everyone else was quoting me so I am happy about that.
Now it's time to put some graphics on the truck to match my trailer. Realize I use this truck to pull a 40ft Toyhauler RV trailer. This truck is for fun only not to make me money since my career job is a Fireman. Bad part is the graphic that I really want Skyline RV says they are out and the vendor doesn't have any and it would be way expensive to have more made. My toyhauler is an 06 so not impressed with the customer support. Here are a few options: First is a photo of my last truck the T2000 with the graphics I would like to have


Now some photo's of my current 770 with a few different ideas with the only graphics that I can get. I also have some interior photo's of my 770 if anyone likes Volvo's. I completely gutted the inside of the truck and redid the entire thing minus the dash. If interested let me know and I will post them up also...

Photo #1



Photo #2



Photo #3



So out of the 3 photo's which one looks the best? Or should I press Skyline some more and try and get them to get me the big swoosh graphic and do it like I had the T2000?

Thanks for your opinions.

Funny you all think #2 because I posted this on another forum and NOBODY picke #2. It was either #1 or #3. Number 3 because the graphics go opposite each other. Thanks for the replies though.

Anybody else?

I like the original.

Go to any reputable sign shop that has a graphic designer on staff and that can run a digital print. They will be able to reproduce the graphic for you and it shouldn't cost all that much. While they are working on the reproduction, tweak the colors, add or subtract here and there, make it YOURS (factory sucks). Whatever you do, don't have the dealer order it from a shop for you, it'll cost way too much that way!

If you really want something unique, find a seasoned sign painter in your area and have them lay down some pinstripes and paint the graphic onto the truck, it will be money well spent. Yes, it will cost more than a factory decal (that sucks, btw).

Dont worry in about a year that Maaco paint job will wash off, usually right about the time the warranty expires so you'll have a whole new paint job on the truck.

I like the original tho I haven't seen the one you like that they are out of.

Also..please post pics of the Volvo interior....that is probably what I will go with (or 780) in the future and I plan to change around the interior. Would love to see what you did for ideas.
