Yesterday I got my car back from a full frontal Paint Protective Film (Xpel) *10 year Warranty* and Ceramic coating (Gyeon Duraflex) *Supposedly it is just as good if not better than Ceramic Pro* and it comes with a 5 year warranty.

Edit:

I also installed Rear turn signal LEDs and Reverse light LEDs and they make a HUGE difference.

Revised the Torque maps for 2nd gear. Hondata has a really nice map for throttle in each of the gears but I didn't like how they made 2nd gear a gradual increase compared to 3rd-5th (which was just all the same map), so I copied the 3rd gear throttle map and pasted it into the 2nd gear throttle. 1st gear is understood to be a gradual torque, but to me 2nd gear should be more aggressive than it is.

Can you provide any more details for us noobs? I just got the flash pro (93 oct) and it's great but 2nd gear feels almost stock. A little more oomph, safely, and I'd be super happy.

Yes.

Go to the calibration window and select the Throttle pulldown. Now go to the 2nd gear R+ mode map. Notice it's flat throttle values compared to the 3rd gear map. You want the 3rd gear map copied into the 2nd gear map. Go to the 3rd gear map and at the top menu, select 'Select All'. Your maps color table values should all be highlighted in blue. Next, select Edit->Copy. Then select the 2nd gear map. Then select Edit->Paste. Your 2nd gear map should now look identical to the 3rd gear map (4th-6th all have the same boost response map). Save the calibration and reflash it back to your ECU. You should now get better throttle response in 2nd gear. Keep in mind, if you want this behavior for Sport Mode, you will need to copy it again for that driving mode.

Hope this helps,

Just out of curiosity. What does xpel cost? Always thought it was a great idea but never pulled the trigger thinking it was pricey.
