Default Spark Plugs

Last weekend I took the back bumper off my car and pulled the mufflers (plan on sending them to FD to get "the mod" done in the new year).
While I had all this stuff off I figured I'd do the plugs while waiting for spring to arrive. I checked a few places (Canadian Tire and Parts Source) for plugs and all they had were Nascar brand and E3's, so I declined.
Called up the local dealer and they wanted $29 each. I went on-line and got OE Bosch plugs plus a set of new tubes and gaskets (including delivery) for a bit more than half what the dealer wanted. Brings new meaning to the word stealer!

I don't get it. Whenever I try to buy anything form the dealer, I feel like I'm getting bent over. It really pays to shop around. I have had good luck using the internet for Porsche parts. Sounds like a project I'll need to do by spring or summer. You should LOVE the FisterDs.
