Its so blurry....but the fact that the tip is so white, you are running lean. It needs more fuel until the porselin looks light brown.

Re: Sparkplug look (Marauder)
Its fine unless you pulled the plug after a full throttle pass. Hondas run lean at idle. That is not that white. When I pulled mine a few months back it was like that. I searched on here quite a bit, and was able to find others who had the same plug color and were fine. On here somewhere is a chart that shows what a plug that is to hot look like, it will be all blistery and skinny. Yours looks fine, to get that brownish/tanish color from a Civic you would almost need some type of fuel managment system.

It's really not a problem. My plugs have always looked like that. Hondas tend to run a bit lean.
