Default you can buy the boots at fap99.com..there are no wires - these cars are coil on plug

Default Yeah that is a good mark up

5 buxs for boots or $25
Bosch OEM Plugs are about 15-30 depending on source 75-150

So you are getting a 100% mark up.

FYI I have about 1500 miles on the NGK Irdium plugs and so far they are just as good as the Bosch plugs at half the cost (10 ish)

Default Bosch F5DP0R. I think you need to read through the FAQ and at least this one (inside)
