Actually fujisawa has a valid question. Did you see what the coil pack looked like? With a FIT, you should look at both. #2 cylinder tends to have a spark plug that get loose and there's blow-by and the coil pack gets sooty, smells of gasoline, and the rubber boot could be melted.

The plugs, in general look ok. I would reuse after checking the gap.

The one thing that concerns me is that the bottom three (3) in the first pic, seem to have threads that are flattened nearer the nose, which could be miss-threaded / allowing them to come loose / you getting a mis-fire while those threads in the head get eroded by the hot gases coming up along the plug.

Maybe the performance boost is mainly due to the valve adjustment.

But he/she is correct. I read your question and said to myself seriously!?! Why don't you Google it. Moving along.

Ask silly questions you get silly answers
