Best material to minimize Impulse?

[mhz]

Homework Statement

Basically I want to know what material (That I could easily access) would be great to minimize impulse in the following situation:

A car is placed at the top of a ramp with some angle less than 45 degrees and at its front there is a tracker that measures the amount of force put into the car once it runs into the wall. I can add some material/compound to the front with the dimension 10x15x15 cm where 10 is the dimension in line with the length of the car.

(Foam is not allowed)

Homework Equations

p = mv
J = Ft

The Attempt at a Solution

Obviously I know that I need to minimize J (impulse) and maximize t (time), and I've thought of a few materials but I'm looking for any that you may have come across in your life that could help.

What do you mean by foam? Could you use sponge?

Sorry, forgot to mention, I'm also not allowed to use a sponge lol.

All I was told was "no foam or sponges".
