You mean NOT as an option?

If so, never. Mines an 05 and has neither.

*edit*
maybe you meant what year did those options start? If so, I'm not sure :( sorry

ZHP always had those as options, it was released long before production of our cars. You could have theoretically ordered a stripper ZHP with halogens, business cd, manual sports seats, no sunroof, fixed rear seats

... but ac delete was never an option :(

Yes that's what I meant. What year did they start having them as a factory option?

They were likely always an option, they came out in the late 90s

You described my car except for the manual seats/sunroof... Lol

Installing my AFE intake today. Filter comes pre-oiled but its all settled in the bottom.

EDIT - Not oil. Plastic molding. :embarrassed

Is there supposed to be a gap?

Only 1 of the two stock attachment holes lines up. The AFE housing can't move any further forward as its already touching the frame rail (top right of pic).

Really squishes the intake bellows.

Only 3 of 4 cover plate holes line up.

Yes there is supposed to be a gap and these are common fitment problems with the aFe intake. You can flex the metal a bit to make it fit. Same issues are seen with the cover. The stock elbows will be slightly scrunched so it's good if they are newerish, but not terrible if they aren't. Sucks this is how fitment is on an aftermarket part, but most deal with it because of the performance/noise gain.
