I am awaiting completion & return of my seats from the upholstery shop and seat belts from the vendor.....  I am thinking about dying the carpet.  Any thoughts / ideas??  I do have the original blue "House Shag".

If you really don't care about what you have currently, I suppose there's bleach. But that would then require a very good dousing, scrubbing, and rinsing to remove all of the bleach before undertaking a new dye job.

Alternatively, sell what you have to somebody who wants that carpet and put those proceeds toward buying carpet which is already the color you desire.

I have successfully dyed carpet in the past (long past).  You might try your local auto paint supply stores.  A lot of them carry SEM vinyl dye.  That is a good product for vinyl.  What I don't know is whether it is appropriate for carpet or not.  If the vinyl dye cannot be used on carpets perhaps the store will have a fabric dye for carpets.
