Cleaned up Throttle Body Pics?

Could somebody post pictures of a totally cleaned up FD Throttle Body? I want to get mine as smooth as possible (single turbo, no emissions). Just looking for hopefully a new idea of how to clean it up.

Thanks!

Thanks, I have a friend that is very good at "cleaning them up" I'm not sure why the picture of the top isn't loading but I'll see if I can get tit to load in another post. Jack

I think that hole is stock. IIRC mine has that same hole and I bought my car completely stock.

Are you guys trying to shame me into doing something with my disgustingly stock throttle body?

I'm still running the thermal wax unit on mine so it's still intact. I'll probably remove it on the next one I do to see how much better it will make it look.
