I have an '09 Corolla. A year or so ago, I had an unopened can of soda in the car and the heat of the summer caused it to explode throughout the car. Obviously it was a dumb mistake, but we move on. Just haven't got around to looking into replacing the interior until now, if it isn't cost prohibitive. Where in the world would you go to replace the interior fabrics (seats, ceiling, etc)? How much of a cost would it be? I'm definitely not buying a new car for something that petty, since I only have around 85K miles on it.
 
You should just get an Accord.

But seriously - have you looked into detailing? I would think that anything spilled in the car could be removed. I've had a couple of fairly trashed interiors detailed and it came out just fine.
 
Take it to a detailer and ask them to do the best they can on the interior. Should cost 200 max. You should have done this right after this happened. Not worth to do anything more, IMO.
