Default VTEC Solenoid Assembly Plug Looks Bad - Ideas?

'96 GSR B18C1 that went into my '94 EH3 years ago.

When I got the car back from the shop that did the swap I saw that the plug on the VTEC solenoid assembly looked almost melted. It has always bugged me, but the new assembly is ~$160, so I don't want to replace it just for looks, it still works.

Any ideas how I can get it looking a little nicer?

Thanks!

Plug looks naztee!

Brilliant!

You are my hero...

This is not a plug you carry, correct?

Thanks!

Looks like it got hot, question is why, maybe a bad solenoid in which case a new solenoid would come with a new plug, time for a trip to the bone yard, [PicknPull] for either the plug or the complete solenoid. 94
