I have owned a couple of C4 verts and I used a product I use on my boat to protect the carpets. Here is the link, it works very well, might not help that much after the fading has already happened, but it will protect if from happening in the future.

You didn't mention the color of your carpet. That will be a factor. I have a '86 Coupe with Saddle carpet. I purchased a spray can of carpet dye from Mid America that worked fairly well in bringing the original color back.

Carpet is very easy to dye then tint the windows to keep it from fading.

Be very careful in color selection on paint or dye if you go that route. My floor mats got dark in a hurry when I painted them.
