Even the newest 2001's have a little 3D aspect to them. The Federal Signal is flat but the FS logo and 2001 have shadows. If you can live with a newer sticker, Federal will probably send you some for free. You can just cut off the pars you don't want.

I don't have any type of lifting tools at my house (like a shop crane,) so for example when I brought the Defender home, I disassembled it piece by piece in the bed of my truck.
