First Generation (1964-1966) Barracuda Carpet "Alternatives"

Has anyone tried or considered using something besides carpet on the back side of the rear seat, the side panels in the cargo area, the fold-down trunk divider, and/or even the floor of the cargo area? In place of carpet, I was thinking of something like a foam-backed fabric that is used on the padded dashes and door panels. Just an idea, trying to think out of the box.

I could always change those pieces over to the pre-cut carpet in the kits at a later date. I am loosing some international shipments this year and I'm not willing to pay up front for a complete carpet kit and have it not arrive here safe and sound (and when shipping does pan out is too darn expensive in the first place). I have experienced increased problems lately with customs and delivery failures.
