I second the above question, Rit dye seems to be a very effective and inexpensive way to bring life back to OEM carpet, but where does a person buy Rit dye? Is it something that can be had at Hobby Lobby?

I did a quick search when I read this before it looks like you can get the powder dye at Walgreens. Someone above said they used the powder and it worked the same. I'd give that a try, its cheap enough if it doesn't take as well just find the liquid.

the carpet looks great! i'm gonna try this on my really bad looking tan carpet.

Just get it the liquid RIT dye at Wal-Mart - my local store carries it. I think its like $1.88/bottle or something.

I did the same thing to mine about 2 years ago and it still looks perfect. As the above post said Wal-Mart does carry it and that is were I got mine. I beleive just about any groccery store carries it too at least everyone around here that I have seen. But ya this trick does hold up for a while too. Mine still look new except I needs to hit a spot or two that faded over time.

does anyone have pics of cars that dyed their carpet tan? if not does anyone have pics of tan seats with just a black carpet but tan headliner. how would that look you think. my carpet is really bad but i dont really plan on changing my seats anytime soon.

WOW! I'm definitly going to try this too. However, I was wondering if it would be better to dye faded black carpet into black instead of tan carpet into black or does it not matter? I currently have tan carpets. There is a Stealth with black/charcoal interior at the local junk yard and I was thinking about going to buy its carpet and then dye it if needed.
