What type of load are you expecting to carry? Load capacity means heavier or lighter materials that could be used. Simple plywood could be your answer.
Nothing heavy, more like soft luggage/bags etc. Plus wanting to have it look complete, as is it looks non-functional.
And an infinite amount of tie down pointsI really like the look of expanded metal. It's light, but still pretty strong. It won't really hold water or snow and will let you put smaller stuff on, unlike the larger spacing of crossbars.

Think I'll go with expanded aluminum and try to keep it from rattling. Thanks, Ed
To line a ConFerr rack, I used the floor of an old full size pickup truck bed liner. Tough thick polyethylene. No painting, no corrosion, lightweight, ribbed (channels water). Free, most of the time, if you look on Craigslist.
