Default when changing spark plugs do you...

I have a quick question. When changing spark plugs on a GS300, are you guys changing the throttle body gasket after you move it or are you reusing the old one? After searching, I dont see anyone mentioning that they changed it. Also from what I see, this gasket is very expensive ($74?). I am going to try and change my plugs tomorrow.

Special thanks to all of those members who post the procedure and pictures to do this! I could probably figure out how to do it but it is great to see what I need first!

Thanks ahead of time,
Gears

I replace mine every time, about $8.00 for the gasket at my local Toyota dealer.
