For plugs and wires, any local auto parts store will do. Also jegs and summit have a large array of parts and offer most everything available for plugs and wires. As stated above, you don't need to get fancy with the spark plugs.

hope this helps.
thanks man, appreciate the info/help.

Those kind of prices are what you get for going to the dealership (stealership).
Dont touch the opti unless it is malfunctioning. Im closing in on 170,000 miles on one as far as I know. If you research, you can find some great prices.

I understand that, but if possible (that is non-rapage) I will try and support local businesses.

I've had good luck with both the TR-55 (which is a different stock/part number now) and the autolite 606's (which is what I mainly use)
