Trex is a composite lumber, you can buy it at any big box store like Lowe's or Home Depot. It is mostly plastic but it isn't the brittle type of plastic like the BMW jack pads are made of, it is really almost perfect for the application since it won't crush like wood but won't crack like brittle plastic either.
Ultimately I'd like some out of aluminum but I don't have a milling machine or the stock laying around.
