Default 01 is300 spark plugs and wires replacement help!

I'm replacing my spark plugs and wires on the car and wondering if it is better off having a mechanic or dealer do it? Or if it's just better to do it myself? I changed timing belt and water pump on my own any thoughts? Also is there anything along the way that is worth replacing or changing rather get it all done one shot

Plugs and wires are relatively easy if you've done a timing belt... Nothing else really in the area aside from coil plug boots you'll need three and three wires... Some people pull just the throttle body, I take the entire upper manifold off - either works...

Any part numbers for the coil plug boots?
