If its already all stained up I dont see how staining it the same color is gonna mess it up any more. Mines kinda messed up but I just bought a new black one, but I want to get some new seats b4 I go tearing everything out and pulling the carpet.

Yeah, i'd advise that too... Only reason I went with dying it was because this is a project car that can't break the $2000 mark before a race takes place, so I'm doing all I can dirt cheap. I figure $7 worth of dye is better for this project than what the cost of carpet is.
