In my writeup for the Deadpool taxi, I said that my original plan had been a simple redeco but that was impossible due to the quality of that particular copy. But as mentioned elsewhere, there are a fair number of Crown Vics in my stash, including another "I ♥ NY" taxi. This one was quite a bit cleaner than the previous, though, and so seemed like a good candidate for my original idea.

I removed all of the stock markings with some acetone-based nail polish remover, then gave the car a quick wipe down with isopropyl alcohol and a quick polishing to remove any ghosts. Once that was done, I went through and painted the window frames, mirrors, and panel breaks. I then made up a new set of markings in Illustrator based on what little we saw in the movie and printed them onto clear decals stock. The license plates, windshield stickers, and roof signs were similarly drawn up and printed onto high quality paper stock.
