Default Worn red carpet - what are my options?

The red carpet in my 2001 S2000 is looking pretty faded and worn on the humps. Is there anyone who makes a carpet kit? Can I have it re-dyed?

Just to clarify, I'm not looking for floor mats.

call me crazy but I actually took a steaming carpet cleaner from my mom's house and did my red carpets. It worked really well and I was pleased.
I've also used a garmet steamer to loosen up the dirt, vacuumed it, and then steamed it with the carpet cleaner.

On a side note, red is very delicate. I used the Tuff Stuff scrub on my floor mats when a friend got grease on them. It stripped the color and now theyre a maroon/off red color. I'm so mad because the mats were brand new.

just try a good detailing of the interior and maybe shampoo the carpet will help bring life back to it

Buy new replacements from Honda. I know, it sounds a bit ludicrous to fix such a minor flaw, but it's the only proper way to take care of this problem. I would then install larger floor mats to go over the humps.

Exactly what I did. It will take some time and money (especially if you don't DIY), but the end result is worth it. It smells like a new car again!

You can also take the opportunity to line the interior with sound deadening if you so choose.
