Well, either find a new carpet, (or used one in good condition), and replace it with that, or take out your existing carpet and take a good steam cleaner/shampooer to it.

Any upholstery shop that specializes in automobiles. Check the yellow pages.

Off the top of my head, I know of a place called "Classic Soft Trim", that specializes in doing interiors. They are located off of Falkenburg road in East Tampa/Brandon area.

There are many others I'm sure as well. Just search around online or in the phone book as I already mentioned.

BTW, just to let you know, the carpet is not extremely hard to replace, just a little time consuming at most.

You basically just need to remove the seats, center console, and possibly the rear interior panels at most. The carpet should basically then come out pretty easily.

Dealerships, junk yards, or used off of other owners.

If you want a brand new one (not sure if Mitsu even makes them still), try hitting up a guy by the name of GreenSteak at www.dsmtalk.com

He can get you good rates on new OEM parts, much better than what the dealership would charge you.
