But wait, you can still sell them, aren't they removable? If someone is doing a track day, they can just take them off.

That would have been the obvious answer..

The way we designed the 4 locking tabs on each CF sleeve made that process a real PITA.

They did a great job securing them in place from flying off and/or being stolen.

After much debate, I made the decision to not continue to sell a Product that I could not control on how they were used + longevity. Even if it came with a disclaimer for track days or was a user error..

BTW, this was really a long time ago..
