So Walmart had Castrol Edge on a great sale, which left a little extra money to put into my "fun jar." I decided on a whim to purchase one linear foot (1' by 5') of galaxy print vinyl wrap from a local shop, and set to work. Not bad for a first attempt that was done half in the dark. It's somehow even easier than the youtube videos suggest.
The first piece I tackled had this very 3 dimensional lip. The cut lines aren't perfect and there is a tiny crease or two, but overall, extremely easy.
I even did the trim below the tail lights!

That "Galaxy" vinyl print looks out of this world. Heheheh. I'll show myself out.
LOL, jk...looks pretty good, all things considered
In reply to 4cylndrfury:
I thought the whole point of vinyl wrapping is to experiment with ridiculous finishes and patterns and still have your original finish if you don't like the end result after a while.
I vote a "crown royal" wrap for the crown Vic.
Well, the original Crown Victoria morphed into a Galaxie, which turned into an LTD, which turned back into a Crown Victoria, so it works for me.
It's subtle, it's cheap, it's reversible, it's highly personalized – I love it. Aesthetics can be grassroots too.
Far out, man
A little heat (hairdryer is enough) goes a long way to help the vinyl stretch a little around curves for a smooth application.
