Default Apexi Smart Accel Throttle Controller
Wonder if anyone has it in their 3GS? I'm planning to get one since they cost less than half of what Blitz and Tom's were being sold but not sure if it's as good or better than Blitz or Tom's. If you do have it please give some reviews and pics of where you mounted it would be nice

Can't comment on Apexi but I have the Blitz controller and it works great.

apexi is made in japan, and its quality should be similar to that of blitz and tom's. and these throttle controllers all work the same way, so it's not like there's any difference in the way they perform that would justify paying more money. imho, i'd get the apexi, good bang for the buck (compared to blitz and tom's)

Already placed an order for it from one of our venders and still wondering if the apexi push button will fit in a blank spot next to a coin holder which will make it look stealthily stock. I've seen it installed in an ISF, right next to the coin holder as well but that blank spot looked bigger than ours. Anyways I'll be updating with pics when it's done.
Thanks for the response guys.
