Good job getting it done yourself. Why did it cost $80 though? Dealer original stuff?
I remember when I did mine it cost me under $30 with wires and plugs from an auto parts store. It was like $14 for the wire set, and like $2 per plug if I remember correctly.
Those clips were the hardest part of the project though! After I finally got them off using a lot of wd-40 and pliers.
At least on my Gen 3, they are supposed to unclip to get the wires out, but were on there backwards from the factory! So I had to remove them off their studs completely to unclip them. I put them back on the 'right' way so that next time I could just unclip them instead of removing them.
The plugs and wires lasted the rest of the cars life (around 60,000 miles more), but sadly the brakes went and transmission, and a bunch of leaks forced us to scrap it at just under 200,000miles.
