The spark plugs are in the engine of the car. Open the hood and locate the ignition coil at the top center of the engine. There are 4 very thick wires attached to it, with 2 running left and 2 running right. Each of these wires leads to a spark plug. If you want to change the spark plugs you will need to remove the windshield washer bottle on the left side and air intake ducting on the right. Tools needed include a 5/8" spark plug socket, a ratchet, and several lengths of extensions for the ratchet.
