Front carpet repair
A few years ago, I had the master cylinder leak into the driver footwell. My front carpet has continued to deteriorate and I need to change it. Does anyone have any suggestions other than replacing the whole carpet set, which I don't want to do? The colors are a little strange. It is like a light beige with a light grey piping. There is also the piece where a dead pedal would go, but I am not as concerned about that one. Here are some pics.
  Thanks

Other than a good cleaning (maybe even a dyeing approach)???
, if the "deterioration"is advanced,..you may as well plan for a new set (to be perfect). BEST! Doyle

Unfortunately, it will need more than a good cleaning.
The piping is coming off on the left side.

Looks like you have rodents living there too!
If you don't want to redo everything, how about cutting a rubber mat to fit? Or go to any carpet store and see if you can find a piece that matches the color and get the edge bound.

That color you have looks to be the same that I have. It's called Champagne. If I would you, I'd look into custom floor mats from Lloyd. I got some a few weeks ago and I think they'll cover most, if not all, of your problems. They are really nice mats too.
