    Most car carpets are made of plastics so I dont think it would work with generic fabric dye

    ^ most of your clothes are made of plastic material too look at your tags nylon, elastine etc. Thats y u can't put then on hot settings on and iron because they melt.

    True but you need special dyes for plastics.

    Basically you need to heat the clothing/carpet then apply an acid dye or disperse dye.

    http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/FAQ/nylon.shtml



    FAQ: How to dye nylon or polyamide

    Nylon, a synthetic fiber also sometimes labeled as polyamide, can be dyed with either of two completely different dye classes, acid dyes and disperse dyes. Both of these types of dye require the application of heat to fix the dye to the nylon, so be sure the item you are dyeing can withstand the heat called for in the recipe you choose. (This is a problem for nylon/Lycra blends, as the spandex fiber is heat-sensitive, made from polyurethane fiber. Use acid dyes on these blends, and carefully avoid stressing the fabric while it is hot, such as by twisting or stretching; temperatures above that indicated on the garment's care label (usually 105°F) may deform the shape of the garment.)

    Some surface fabric treatments may prevent nylon from 'taking' dye. Dye only fabrics that are free of treatments that provide stain resistance or water repellence, such as Teflon coating.

    Dye the carpet, wash it a few times to get the runs out of it, then scotchguard the crap out of it to seal in the remainder of the dye

    Here's a pretty good DIY on a way of doing it too.
