There are definitely some potential safety hazards.
But the life vests should eliminate the threat of drowning.

hmm wonder if you can use this on head/fog lights (the clear obviously) and possibly on your hood?? how is it with heat (from the hood)? maybe as an alternative to clearbra.

Looks much better! Plastidips aren't meant for Lexus.

^^^ I can't find red lugs! The only ones I can find are the extended ones that are only for aftermarket wheels! Can you find some for me?
