Its only a surface issue. Light sanding and a coat of black from the can and you'll be good to go!

Clearly, no one has changed the pugs in a long, long, long time.

Yep, put them back on the car until I get replacements.

Think I'm going to go with the $169 set.

Great idea!

Not sure how long it's been. I got the car with 99k miles on it, changed them at 116K. The plugs I pulled out where the Beru Ultra 14FGR-6KQU 4 prong type plug. I replaced them with Bosch 7413 FGR6KQE 4 prong type plugs.
