Where to get plugs changed in DFW I do not feel like scratching up my arms and bustin' my *** to get my plugs changed this time around. Is there a good shop (or individual) around here that you would recommend to do the job at a decent price. Anywhere over $100 is out of the question.
Thanks guys,
Nick

clip the sharp things off the cowl put on some mechanix gloves and do it.
no scratches... shouldnt even need gloves.
put anti seize on the new ones and its easy has hell to change 'em.

Yeah, it's done...took a couple of hours work. I think I took about 5 to 10 minutes taking just 2 of the coil packs off...if someone could do the whole job in that amount of time, I'd be amazed.
I could see how it would be easier on a car without AIR, EGR, and coil packs all together on a rail. With a '98 car though, there's a lot more work to do.
One thing that bothered me was a plug seemed to be covered with oil...the wire even had a little on it...this was cylinder 7...I ran some sea foam through it before changing the plugs, but I doubt it would make it look this bad. I'll try to post some pics later...

A neighbor has a 98 camaro and he came over one day to borrow some tools so he could change his plugs. I went out and when I came back later that night he was still working on it. He said he had been working on it most of the day.
98s do have more junk to move around but it still isn't that hard. At least you have a good reason to junk the EGR and AIR now
