not to downplay trying to do less work but for dying the carpet you would have to pull everything (excpet maybe teh console) anyways or you would have a really bad looking carpet. there is an upholstry spray dye/paint though cant think of who makes it off hand, someone else might now what i am talking about. anyhow for the amount of work that you would do it seems about as equal as removing a total of 20 bolts and a few screws, removing the interior (seats, seatbelts, and center console) realy is not all that dificult and you could do the entire job in less than a day as compared to dye which takes a few hours of prep work, then drying, then dying, then drying and possibly ending up with something your not happy with.

just my .05 (adjusted for inflation)
