But the OE spark plugs are NGKs. Laser Iridiums to be exact.

Good catch. I did replace them with NGKs not Bosch. Edit coming...

Thanks. For you the paint code would be ZNC for the premium silver metallic. It was the cheapest spoiler option for the Kizashi, and even came painted! Shipping is fast too! Shipped from Taiwan Feb 25, arrived by 5pm Feb 26th. That alone amazes me.
Wasn't the shipping time nuts!! One day via DHL from Taiwan, for that price is, unbelievable. The color matching is perfect. However, I'm considering removing mine after this summer as I want to purchase a wind fairing for my roof rack. Might be too much going on, on top.

All the talk on filters made me go buy both a WIX air filter and a cabin air filter for a total of $45 on amazon. I have 41K on my kizzy and i neglected to change either until now. Glad I did as they were dirty as hell but still functional.

At the same time I bought a cabin filter for my wife's 2008 Jeep Liberty only to find out while installing that her jeep doesn't have one, not even a housing for one. Apparently a cabin air filter was optional for that year! WTF?

My 2005 Mazda3 didn't have a cabin filter though it had a housing for it. It was very odd. Basically, it was known that they didn't come with them from the factory, but you could simply install a filter in the area which they started doing in later models.

However, I find it shocking in your case given the model year and the type of vehicle. You'd think a brand like Jeep would have one given the cars are designed to go offroad into dusty areas. Apparently, some Liberty models didn't come with them but you can retrofit the filter housing into them.

My 2009 Saturn Aura didn't have a cabin filer. None of the Aura lineup did. However some of the Malibus did. You had to cut the airbox with a utility knife along dotted lines that said "cut here" then by the airfilter carrier and filter separately.

Thought about retrofitting it but at this point we were thinking of trading it in anyway for a Land Rover.

You have a Jeep and you want to buy a Land Rover? What about reliability..? lol Don't you know the land rover and range rover are the worst vehicles in terms of reliability? And frankly...the new models are just ok.
