You have to take to cowl off to get to the plugs. You need to pop the plastic windshield piece then the metal under it.

No...Ben wasn't saying that the spark plugs are by the header. He was saying that the header DIY would show you how to remove the cowl piece (the black plastic piece at the bottom of the windshield). With that piece removed, you can remove the spark plug cover (black plastic piece with four nuts on top of the engine) and then you will have easy access to the coils and plugs. It's pretty simple actually.

Okay I should have asked this BEFORE buying the plugs but what do you guys think of the Pulstar Spark Plugs.... worth $110.00? Im going to Sacramento Race Way this Saturday and I ran a 14.7 with intake, headers and flashpro (untuned). Since then ive added torque damper bar, exhaust, and flashpro tuned by Modacar.

I'm not sure about the pulstars. I believe I-vtec had issues with those plugs. I'd stick with OEM. They're already Denso or NGK Iridium spark plugs (me thinks). Sound's like you have a nicely modified car. How do you like your flashpro?

yes.. there are 3 bolts on each side and 3 across the splash panel. which is the metal piece. so total there are 9 screws. for some reason when i changed my spark plugs, the middle bolt did not want to go back in lol the hole was off, but i got it line back up.

speaking of pulstar pulse plugs, read my thread from a while back on my little "incident" with them.
