2013 4s Plug change myself
#6
Suncoast, Dux. I also bought an iCarSoft Porsche i960 II ($160) to set services at Amazon. I used to do everything (including engine and clutch repairs) until 10 years ago when I starting buying modern ones that had a warranty and you're right it was enjoyable and money saving. I even chemically stripped a '67 to bare metal and had it painted with lacquer in 1978. I had all the aluminum re-anodized, put a new clutch in it and new carpet. It was beautiful and I sold it to the first person that looked at it for slightly more than the car cost new (four times what I paid for it with the bad clutch and faded paint). Now I wish I had kept it as I also had a '72, but I was in the Army and that just wasn't in the cards.

Can anyone justify the difference in price for exactly the same item plugs, only difference being one is labeled OEM? Below is a copy and paste from Pelican.
Also, note that Suncoast wants about $100 for a set of plugs

Thanks, Eldertec. Maybe I should wait a little longer if they were that good. I only have 22K on the car right now. I'm about to change the oil and air filters and I just thought I would do it at the same time.
