you don't have plug wires on your car. Why do you need new plugs.? How many miles?
I recommend NGK, Autolite or Motorcraft. You do not need a plug that costs more than a dollar or two. Autolites are $ 1.97 for a two pack at WalMart.
Very easy to install.

The car comes with platinums, I've seen them good for 80+ k. If adding performance mods, you may change. for more mods , increase in timing or nitrous, I recommend copper over the platinum. Your plugs should be fine for a while. Air filter, fuel filter more important to check and change.

I would suggest a Haynes manual or equivalent to become more familiar with your car first. Your car does not have conventional spark plugs wires due to the individual coils on each spark plug. Also change your "from the:" display option to the beginning and do a search on spark plugs to get a general consensus on what plugs are being recommended. How many miles do you have on your car? The stock plugs have a long change interval.
