Default Dealer Installed Options

Does anyone have any information about the following dealer installed options?

DIT53 Environmental Protection Package $399.00
DIT54 Theft Protection System $199.00

I sent the original dealership an email, but nothing was ever returned.

Here's the list of all 2003 RPO's. Don't see those listed so must be specific to the dealer/region.

The Environmental Protection Package is most likely one of those paint sealant/undercoating/interior stain guard things they do to increase their profit on the car.

Theft protection system could be that they etched the VIN into the glass or other body parts.

Both are called more $$$ for the dealer.
