my spark plugs?

I got this car a little while ago (03 C5Z) put plugs in the other day was wondering how do they look to you guys?

they don't look consistent is that normal or maybe signs of injectors need to be cleaned or?

not sure how long they was in it they dont "look" to used NGk tr5 $2 plugs, car is running better idling smoother to

they are placed the way they came out of the engine lower left being 1st on drivers side

They look very inconsistent. Did you happen to check the gap on them? Be careful not to break the electrode if you do since I'm sure it will be very fragile after however long they have been in there.

What mods are done to the car or is it stock?

#7 has a little spot on the ceramic, looks the worst. #7 is usually the lean hole.
