I think they both look nice. The Babolt TB that I have was bigger than a friends accufab(the inside area.) That being said, I don't know if it makes a big difference or not. I bought the satin finished Babolt TB for $315. I don't know if he still has them on sale.
In my infinate wisdom I also bless you and your Lightning that you may go fast and have many kills...or something

Hey Chikenears,
I spoke with Rob G. on Friday and we talked about the throttle body. What Rob said to me was that he believed that the bearing was bad in the throttle body. I told him to send it to me and I would make it like new. Can a bearing fail? Yes. Do I or anyone have control over it? No. But it can be fixed. As for you wishing to create some type of impression of low quality please have at. I believe that there are enough good, intelligent people out there that see past what you may be trying to push. Also I do not know who you are nor do I care. What I do know is that the test of time will be on my side. My parts will out last the short duration that you may own a Lightning.

We all see and read crap on this board that gets started to bash people or tuners or products or whatever. Believe it or not people will choose sides and believe at least some of the crap people start. It sucks but its true.
When the time (and money) comes, there will be a BABolt throttle body on my truck.

I had read a thread, (that Rob posted in) about your throttle body and gathered, from it, that he was less than pleased.
I personally know nothing about your throttle bodies other than the fact that they look really nice. I almost bought one myself.
As for intelligent people seeing through what I might be trying to push, and trying to create some type of impression of low quality, I have nothing to gain either way. I do not sell throttle bodies nor do I have any interest in selling them.
If I have offended you, I ask for your forgiveness. I feel like your quality is right up there at the top of the list, from a lot of threads that I've read.
Simply put, can we be friends? There is way too much bickering on this board.
Sincerely,
Tim

Tim,
I read the original post (in fact I saved it too) before you modified it. As I stated I spoke with Rob G. on Friday and if a part is bad on something that I offered I will fix it. I have been on this board for three years now and what I have noticed is that the quality level from all the vendors has risen. Now if all of us could use that as an example this would be a great site to hang out. As for the rest Tim, I never stay mad or hold a grudge. What never ceases to amaze me is that with a little bit of understanding how we can all get along.
