Get them anywhere you like. Phone around for prices. Any auto parts place
should have them or be able to order them in for you. Do not let them
substitute some other brand or model number.

It's DIY for sure, but with two caveats:
1) do NOT overtighten OR undertighten the plugs!!!
2) use the right tools.

The plugs are tightened to 13 ft-lbs. There is a rotational angle you can
use to determine correct tightening, but it's best to buy yourself a cheap
$20 beam-type torque wrench and be certain you're doing it right.

Don't use one of those cheap generic spark-plug changing wrenches. Get a
proper spark plug socket with the rubber insert that holds the plug in
place in the socket, plus a 6" extension and a ratchet.

Oh, and it's a very good idea to put a slight smear of anti-seize on the
plug threads prior to installation.
