I'm sorry, I'm sure i've seen a similar post, but I cant find it.

Yes it's time to do the pita work of changing my spark plugs. I have an 02 2dr r/t, as you know the engine is sideways meaning, do I need to remove the manifold to change 3 of the plugs? I was figuring since I was going to have to remove the manifold anyways and it's gunna be more then a 1 hour project I might as well upgrade the wires, 8-8.5 I think? Anyways, any suggestions on which plugs to use? I have a CAI and a modified exhaust, I was also thinking of upping the trottle body and injectors if that makes any difference. It says in the manual to use platinum tipped, so any recomended brands? Also, are there msd wires for this app. or maybe mopar? Thanks.

On a side note, anyone know where I can get a sheet of aluminum billet to remake my grill inserts? AutoZone/Murray's? Online?

I've not done the job myself (I have an 02 as well), but I understand you do have to remove the manifold.
I can't help on the other questions, sorry.

Took me 3 hours, don't have to completely remove the manifold, just raise it and do change the wires at the same time.

 

If you're looking for some good platinum plugs, the Bosch Platinum's are the way to go. Unfortunately, they don't work well with my Neon, it causes backfiring for some reason. As for the wires, go with the Crane 8.5mm wires. They offer the least resistance of all the wires I've seen.
