Have you got the money do to it? The seat covers will cost at least 200-400 bucks, and quality floor covering will be hard to find, and you'd most liekly have to caulk where it meets the interior panels to insure a propor fit. Got any idea if the wires underneath the carpet are sheilded? If not, you're looking for a possible electrical meltdown. Plus, the floor will end up trapping water because all of the exits out of th vehicle are raised, unlike in the element where the water could run out by itself.
It's a nice idea, but a HUGELY expensive and tedious one.

did you guys read that long term on the element (either autoweek or automobile) where they gave up going to the dealer and started duct taping the panels down? that kinda sucks.

Don't forget to put drain plugs in the floor. BTW...Honda very strongly recommends NOT hosing the inside of the element. Ever. It's made to be wiped down, but it will flood and ruin the car.
