You can get stall mat material in various thicknesses and sizes at almost
any ranch supply or horsey/barn site online.   I think you'd want to pick
it up rather than ship, it is heavy.
 For over the engine lid or as a floor mat for the rear area it's perfect.
Very good sound qualities...if you are utilitarian in taste, just leave it
as is...if you want pretty, put some covering that you can change....

I hauled my 'new' Jetta motor on mine, behind the front seats....the motor
up-ended and spilled oil and coolant all over....I just pulled it out and
hosed it off after a scrubbing with solvent....Horses tromp around on it
all day, year after year and do other things on it...you shovel or hose it
off and it looks new again....Our stalls are 15yrs old and the mats look
new...imagine how long it would stand up in a Westie...  Probably make a
good set of traction boards for getting out of sand, too.
