HAVOC spoiler fitment

I didn't like having to use the double sided adhesive tape and I was very worried it would come apart. I use to check it constantly, but after using it along with the adhesive promoter I've never had an issue with it. I love the spoiler and, like some have said already, it's the only one I like.

I had my striping changed and the place that put my new stripes on had to remove the spoiler. They put it back on with some cheap tape and didn't cover a hole used by the factory spoiler that the havoc doesn't use. So it was coming up and water got into my trunk from rain. I had to remove it and reinstall it myself a second time. Still no issues with a proper installation.

Now that I've said that, it's coming up again. The adhesive tape doesn't stick well to my new stripes that run underneath the spoiler. Gonna have to figure something out. :-/

I'll be interested to see how well these newer ones are holding up after a few months as the weather warms up. But I'm crossing my fingers there has been an improvement from IVS in the design.

I am glad I have an order in with Eric for one of his MPD-1 Spoilers after reading these posts!!!

Now just have to wait!!! SUCKS!!

Its amazing this thread has been revived. As for the guy that is having his constantly pullin up in the posts above, I feel your pain, I fought up and down with mine, between myself, a body shop, and a reputable performance dealer locally, they all agreed it is JUNK and the "flimsy test" it speaks for itself! And yes you might be able to get it to sit flat in the middle(atleast for a little while) or until you do over 70, or if the temp changes lmao. My album pics dont lie. and I too got the same runaround from IVS, never had one returned blah blah, he blamed it on RPI, they blamed it on the moulding, now I am hearing there is another version? I wonder why... Writing is on the wall boys, and the fact it relys on tape more than screws and the factory holes to hold it down should tell you something. I have the MPD-1 now and it can withstand high speeds and utilizes all factory holes not just a few for a tight flush fit.
I have a few local guys that have since ripped there Havocs off as they got sick and tired of diff areas not sitting flat or lifting ,and another buddy that is waiting to rip his off when his new one(another company) comes in. One of the posts above that claims "perfect" fitment looks to me like I can see the gapping so much under the back post it has its own shadow, and could fit a ruler between it and the trunk lid lmao,
Anyways pics tell the truth and hard to blame it on installation and not moulds when you can plainly see it is warped and is not even made to sit flat, it is down on the end, curves up, then down to the pivet, then up in the middle, etc.
Good Luck guys
By the way I have all emails from "Adam" that claim none returned and that it is not a moulding issue.lmao what a crock of @#$%!

I must have missed the post that said it was a perfect fit...saw a couple that said its not perfect...to each their own. I'm sorry for those that had issues. I hope IVS has fixed most of them with this supposed v2 that people are claiming. I love mine! It might not be perfect but I think it is pretty damn good! And it is probably the thing I get the most compliments on and for me it is the only spoiler I would put on my camaro. I haven't settled on a body kit because none really speak to me. I won't put the Alpine, Scoshe or META (or whatever the hell it is) in my stereo because none of those look right either...but like I said...to each their own. The less people that have the Havoc the more unique my car will be

consider yourself lucky. Do you have any top angle shots of trunk deck looking from above back window towards back

Just make sure you use that adhesion promoter everywhere.

So how's everyone's Havoc spoiler holding up??

Still undecided on what I want to do with mine. May replace it with this one...http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...poiler-113.htm

Isn't that just the convertible stock spoiler?

May this be a lesson to anyone who comes across this thread, don't support IVS.

Was literally just considering if I want to buy their Havoc wheels + body kit....thanks for this thread guys. Last thing I need right now is to deal with the kinds of headaches described here.

Hi everyone...

I'm new to the forums, but this is my second 5th gen. camaro. I just purchased a '13 RS, put the heritage grille, havoc spoiler, and oracle side markers on her.

I saw several complaints about the spoiler, and I just wanted to share that I had no problems at all after asking my local chevy dealer to paint and install.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
