New Havoc Diffuser/Rockers and Stillen Splitter - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

cfcoates · 05-07-2011, 06:03 PM

I just finished installing Havoc side skirts and rear diffuser... Also replaced my ACS splitter with the Stillen splitter. I prefer the design of the ACS, but it hangs very low and has taken quite a beating over the last year. I have needed to remove it for repaint and repairs a couple different times and decided a urethane splitter would handle the terrible roads much better.

I painted the Havoc pieces matte black and left the Stillen splitter as bare urethane since it seemed to match quite nicely. The install was very simple, but I would recommend replacing the supplied tape that comes with these kits with something thicker.

I also added a pic of the KB 2.8 that was installed and dyno tuned by TPE.

No 1/4 mile runs yet... I'm more interested in getting on the 2.5 mile road course that is just a few hours away.

Thanks for posting this! I am going to do the havok side skirts and stillen carbon fiber splitter soon. Looks good!

Nice set up - I have the exact setup except I still have the ACS splitter (which I had repaired a few weeks back).

Hoping to replace mine with either the SLP or Rev splitter.

I would have the SLP splitter if they would sell it to me :(

Wow, that would be awesome

mclark10 · 05-09-2011, 02:04 PM

That does look good. And good call on not painting the splitter. I just had the Stillen splitter and side skirts painted and installed and there were issues with pin holes in the pieces, especially the splitter. As soon as sealer was applied the pieces looked like foam rubber and had to be filled and sanded multiple times to get them to look right. Even after topcoat there were a few that had to be addressed. Don't know if they're all like that or it was just the kit I got was worse. Luckily my install/paint guy is obsessive and he made it look right. Anyone planning to buy this kit beware that you might have the same issues. What was to be a 3 day paint/install ended up taking 8 days, and the install price reflected it.

brandotron · 05-09-2011, 02:12 PM

Looking good!

Ouch, sounds very painful :( Do you think its possible the sealer that was used wasn't compatible with the urethane? I know that there are different products made for different surface materials, and using the wrong one would absolutely cause the problems you saw with yours.

I am looking forward to not having to repair the splitter after every few minor pavement scrapes like I did with the fiberglass ACS splitter.

There is always the chance of that. The guy that did it has a custom paint shop and he has done a lot of this type of work so I'd hope he wasn't hood-winked by something like that. But you never know. I've been going to him for the past couple of years and have never had any other issues. I've had my share of front underside scrapes and wheel curbings as well. After just spending $4k on wheels and GFX I hope I've learned how long and wide this car really is.
