Why do you think its time to replace your plugs? Platinums/Iridiums are deisgned to go 100K miles. What does the manual say?
Unless you've done something radical to change the performance of the car and need to go to a colder plug because of forced induction, I would leave them alone.

I just did my 30k service myself. I checked my sparkplugs and they still look good. I say betweek 90-100k. Like everybody says, iridium plugs will last longer. At 30k, it was almost cleaned!

You replaced your plugs at 6700 miles or 67,000 miles? Either way, you have motor issues if they are in that bad of shape in that short of time! You need to take your car into the dealer and have it looked at, before serious issue occur; if they have not already!
