So I went ahead and changed my plugs... xD
I'm currently at 46.6k miles. I purchased the car with 37k miles in December 2010. I dug up on the records prior to my ownership of the car, and it turns out the spark plugs were last changed at 21k miles. So 25k miles and two seafoam treatments later, here are my old plugs... whatcha think everyone? Did they need changing? Lol

I was going to try to give them a clean to see how much they would clean up, I usually keep some used parts put away just in case. I was planning on installing a passenger side oil cooler today, but couldnt as i didnt have and could find a clip shown in this diagram. Its the clip found at the bottom of #14 in this diagram

Considering the care i take of my car (spark plug neglect an exception), redline daily, carbon treatments, etc. they could've been much worse. Whoever was the person who did the plugs made it a major pain in the *** for me since they hadn't put ANY anti-seize at all..

when i first got the car, i found that the flap inside the wheel well had come halfway off and so water was sometimes kicking up and right onto the plugs. i fixed that and checked the area for rust but the only rust was those few spots on the plugs so i got lucky

It is not adviseable to re-gap iridium plated plugs if they are worn beyond spec, and I certainly wouldn't use anything harsher than a plastic toothbrush & solvent (carb cleaner, seafoam, etc.) to clean them.

They had a good run, but it's time to let them go.
You can see the center electrode has significant recession, (the gap is getting larger) and the last thing you want to do is try and bend the side electrode. It will break off, possibly inside the engine.
Nice color, your mixture is perfect.
