Check out www.discountautoparts.com or www.rockauto.com.

NGK Iridium plugs are an extremelly high quality plug which is good for
100,000 miles in most applications and sell online for $7-$8 each.

Platinum plugs from several brands are $2.50-$5.00 each.

Honda and your dealer are enjoying very fat profits on their parts.
