    Throttle body to Intake manifold gasket(pic added)

    That is the same TB gasket I have always got when I've ordered it from the dealer.It's three layers of metal w/a neoprene seal around the opening.Only seen paper ones in my 5M motors.

    Freshly painted Door Questions

    Orange peel and dirt specks will sand & buff out.Fisheyes typically wont,you'll burn through the clear first.

    Freshly painted Door Questions

    fender mirrors

    Lived in Japan for 8 yrs.,never got used to seeing the fender mirrors.A lot of the guys over there converted to door mirrors.I personally think they are hideous unless they are on the right car(like the 2000GT.)The MK3 really doesn't have the right body style for them IMO.
