Yea there's no point in being lazy to spend a couple dollars. Buy the OEM from lancershop or buy Cometic, they're pretty good.

I've done it before on non-turbo'd honda's just to get people by (a little copper spray on it to *try* making it seal), but like said...DO NOT re-use it. Do it right the first time, or don't do it at all.
