Drive Belts (parts and labor)

Good afternoon! 2022 Veloster N is just over 60k, and started to lose power on the road. Took it to the dealer Monday June 22 and just received a list of recommended actions. Out of everything, the only thing I see necessary (cabin and engine air filters I can do myself) are the drive belts which come out to $511.87 (estimate):

Parts:

#25212-2GGB0 BELT V $115.18

#25212-2GPA0 RIBBED BELT-V $85.63

Labor $295.00

Just wanted to know if this is a solid price or at the very least "decent". I am not looking for the best possible price and paying for a little convenience since its already in the shop is fine, but I don't want to pay way over. Thanks in advance!

Spark Plug DIY

Looking to replace spark plugs myself. Is this a manageable task for a newbie? I've been researching all day trying to figure out if I even want to attempt this 😅. The only worry I have is not having a torque wrench. Plan on these: NGL SILZKR8E8G (#97080). Stock 2022 Veloster N Manual. Input appreciated.

UPDATE: Successfully installed new spark plugs. I'm still having some issues with acceleration though, feeling sluggish and wont really accelerate under medium/full throttle, possibly turbo or fuel delivery. I've had the car taken in for the HPFP recall a while back but all they did was "update" the ECU. Any ideas what the issue may be? Thanks!
