Don't think so, and it isn't carpeting its a fire thingamabobby (yes that is a technical term).

its not needed the least bit.

Yeah, probably because of the scoop.

or because the turbo would melt the plastic clips or both

Turbo is to hot for a carpet.
AND: in "normal" cars this carpet is for sound insulation.
So i guess in a SRT-4 this were very useless and absurd...

muuuaaaahhhh
cool is different
i guess the carpet is only for the martens - that they feel well, have it warm, eat your sparkplug wires - and ensure so the income of the stealership...

It's like a fire blankie....but SRT's didn't come with them due to the hood ducting and heat.

well i asked because the ass who had my hood b4 me cut a big hole for a ram air, and it doesnt look clean or neat in the least bit and i was wondering if it shouldve had some carpeting, or if i should add some to cover the mess

If anything use the silver backed aftermarket stuff, and cut it to fit. It will stay cleaner/be easier to clean. It may cost a little more than an oem piece tho.
