Question Interest in Martini Edition Red Carpet set? Now with Pretty Pictures!

Here's the deal. I bought a complete, used red carpet set from a Martini edition 924 a while back thinking red carpet in a black car would look bitchin. When I got the stuff it was a bit more used than I thought it would be, but still VERY usable. The issues are a little fading, a few stains, some cig burns (which would likely be covered by the front floor mats) and a bit of pulled stitching. I think I can spray dye it back to excellent shape, but I don't know if I really feel like doing so.

SO, should I:

1) Go for it! Clean it up and install it

2) Offer it up for a few buck plus shipping to whomever is interested in it?

3) Bin it.

TIA

If you decide you don't like the red,or don't want to use it, I have the burg set out of the 924S Lemans that I got from Andy. It is complete and in great shape.

Burgundy on black might look nice too. I have to think about that a bit.

I'll snap a few tomorrow. Karen just got home a bit ago after being out all week and quality time take priority over car parts.

Roll out the red carpet.

These are only a few of the pieces, the rest of the set is under the hatch carpet in the picture. I didn't feel like hauling it all out for pictures. The second picture show some of the fading and the third some of the discoloration/staining.
