Is it possible to get new carpet for these cars?
I am bad need of a new carpet, looks like the previous owner left the windows down or allowed the car to be flooded and there is ring around the carpet.
Any help is appreciated.

I redid my carpet in black but they have other colours. I bought eight bottles of the RIT fabric dye from micheals or any craft store, one rubbermaid container big enough to fit my carpet inside, dissolved the dye and a half cup of salt into about 25l boiling water or however much you need to soak the carpet and let it sit for a day. Clean your carpet well before you dye it an put the carpet into the dye a section at a time scrubbing the dye in with a brush as you go until completely in and use a rock or two to hold it under.
It looks great and so much better than the dirty tan it was before, i even dyed the floor mats. They have been holding up great for 6 months now.
I cleaned the carpet with a power washer, scrub brush, and oxy clean which made it look brand new tan but i wanted black.

Excellent idea the whole oxi clean and power wash, perhaps I'll give that a go instead.
Thanks for the feed back it looks like quite a few individuals benefited.

I worked on it for a total of 1:45 Minutes for the whole car
The results are OK.. but much cleaner overall. still could use pulling the seats and getting whats under them and behing the rails where my attachment was just to big
