I just replaced My plugs @ 96K. I used the NGK as listed in the owners manual.
WOW what a difference. Much smoother and the low end torque is very noticable.
Everyone, please dont wait until the recomended mileage. I am sure the plugs will last, but at a performance loss. My old plugs looked pretty good, right color and no severe eroding. However it has been a great move on my part to replace them. I dont know at what mileage they need to be replaced but with my driving style (spirited if not very aggresive) dont wait as long as I did.
Speaking of replacing spark plugs, when is the Honda recommended change of spark plugs?

I bought an '02 Maxima with 154k miles on it, got a flashing SES light and a major miss at about 158k miles. Of course the code had to be an P0303, cylinder 3 misfire, the rear bank which meant the intake had to come off. Had a set of coil packs on hand, figured that was the problem until I pulled the plugs. Obviously the original plugs that should have been changed at 105k miles. Wondered how it was still running good prior to the misfire event, plugs were opened up to about a .080 gap!

I've got 75k miles on the Accord I just bought but it is 7 years old so I'll probably change them out sooner rather than later. I think 7 years is long enough for the plugs to be screwed into the heads. At least I won't have to pull an intake manifold this time. :)
 
I changed mine on my 2005 v6 at 75k to NGK last week. The gap on the old ones was still good but they were burned up pretty bad. Engine runs much smoother with the new plugs and my gas mileage improved slightly. Got six of them of amazon for $50, which is an awesome deal.
