Ordered 12 Bosch Platinum's from Fastlane (thanks philip@peachparts.com) They were
F1000-115026 Spark Plug Bosch each $6.17 (by the way HALF the dealer price! - and thanks GRAPES11 for helping me choose the right ones!)

The plugs arrived via Airborne Express right on time - perfectly packaged.

I took them to the dealer and they installed in about 2.5 hours. I saw that they did remove the wheel and fender liner. Tech said that's the only way he can guarantee the boot won't be ripped - he said shortcut is to reach around and use a boot puller but he said that about 1/3rd of the time he tries it, the boot comes apart and will end up with plug wire replacement.

Having said that, he said other techs certainly use the hazet 17mm offset wrench that slips under the boot and can remove it WITHOUT having to remove wheel and fender liner - just becareful!

The car's acceleration is noticeably improved. I used to have to floor the accelerator to engage downshift - now just a dip engages downshift and the rush of acceleration is noticeably faster and smoother.

The plugs looked pretty bad - I've had the original plugs in for now just over 5 years at 70K miles - so even though theoretically it's supposed to go for 100K miles, I highly recommend getting them swapped if your plugs are over 4 years old.

Thanks forum members.
