I am going to change my spark plugs today and just opened one of the plugs. It has two washer like things around the base of it. Do I remove them before instilation or not? Also any other tips would be appreciated as this is my first time doing it.

Absolutely not! Leave them on, they are there for a reason! Also make sure you check the gap on each plug to ensure they are gapped properly, they are gapped at the plug factory in which they are made, but they get banged around quite a bit! Call and find out what the proper gap is for your car and get a plug gapper! This is really important as you do not want to put this all together and she runs like shit! You can get a gapper from any pep boys ot auto zone or anything like that, should be around 2-3 dollars at best.
