As long as you don't damage the wires trying to get them off the old plugs you should be fine...

You should be fine. Just make sure to use di-electric grease on the cable and anti-seize on the plugs.

I think if you do a search you can find the stock wires for pretty cheap. I know after -market wires are like $50 bucks, but I'm pretty sure the stock ones can be had from a vendor for cheap.
