Lightbulb Tape me!

I'm interested in the use of adhesive backed vinyl (ie. racing stripes, advertisment car skins) as a way to reduce drag. The drag I'm refering to is associated with the gaps on the hood, fenders, doors, and anything that may stick out. I want to know if instead of ireversible bondo and body work that something as simple as a color matched tape could reduce the drag of a non-aerodynamic door handle or the opening between a fender hood and door? Would this mod be benificial, or more cost than savings. What if every ridge, nook, or crany could be smoothed out?
