It is thin but tough, and quite flexible, as shown by the 3 photos below of a piece approx 2" square. I used poly padding from http://stockinteriors.com/HeatSound.asp ... d=&MakeId= with the foil side down, and used spray adhesive to bond the carpet to the padding at key points - corners, etc.

Before I decided on this carpet, I ordered a sample of carpet from a company that makes "custom fit" sets for about $150, but it was crap - I could tear it in half with one tug!

R-L in Pic: 1) Rubber backing side, 2) rolled piece on end, showing flex, and 3) Top wear surface. (Because of too much photo flash, you can't see the pattern in wear surface photo. It looks more like the pic I posted earlier.)
