Spark Plugs look OK?

Previously my car had been misfiring up top, only when going WOT. I replaced the stock plugs at 21k with Denso IKH24 plugs. That lasted till now, 33k miles, and I'm starting to misfire again at WOT.

I ordered some more plugs today and I'll swap them out when I get them. I'm wondering how my plugs look do you guys. I'll attach some images and let me know how you think they look.

Plugs look fine. IMHO I say swap them out every 15k and stick with the stock NGK plugs unless you need to go a step colder.

You can pick them up from RSD for about 50 bucks.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure he was talking about the VIIIs
and didn't realize I had an IX.

No you will not loose your tune.

Idle sometimes will be funky for the first couple drive cycles until ECU relearns
