Well the good news is that they are Not... It takes a few minutes to remove each one.. Each CF sleeve has 4 locking tabs that secure them into place.
You will need a very small / thin pick tool to unlock each tab before they can be removed.
It takes plenty of tries and patience to get them off...
But once you have done it a few times it gets easier.
They only person that could use these would be another IS-F owner..

^ LoL..
We actually decided to hold up production just a tad bit a few weeks ago.
We thought it would be a good idea to put some hard miles on them, which I did..
I ran them on my F for just over 6 weeks to see how they handled daily heat cycles (city & fwy driving) and also very rainy weather that we have had here in So Cal.
They picked a very nice layer of cooked on wet road grim in 6 weeks.
After taking them off and cleaning them up, they looked pretty good (like new).
We will be working closely with our manufacturer to go over some minor details & we should be able to get an approx lead time on when the 1st batch will be ready.
As soon as I get more info, I will update you all again..
Best Regards,
Joe Z

Also, can one of the MOD's please re-open the POLL??
For some reason a date was added and the poll closed, which wasn't the way I made it originally.
Thanks Again
