putting my -01 S back together with new engine...found this but can't recall where it goes. Anyone?

i think that goes on the carpet piece behind the seats that covers the front engine access point.

Is there a part number on it?

Is that supposed to be attached to the front of the engine compartment around the opening into the car?

No part number. Based on its insulative characteristics, I too thought somewhere on the firewall. While I had the engine out, I replaced all the old crumbing factory insulation on the engine side. This looked way too clean, so thinking someone might just recognize it.
Thanks all...

My thanks to Quadcammer and others who took time to respond. The picture is really helpful and I will sort through my pile and put it all back on the car.
