Default Which years had "Shock Stuffers"?

While I had my 2000 base coupe on a hoist for the first time, I thought I’d check to make sure the shock stuffers had been removed. My shocks don’t have an accordion type rubber boot that would lift out of the way, it’s more like a solid cover. Since the cover doesn’t seem to be removable I’m "assuming" there were never any shock stuffers in there in the first place. Or am I missing the boat somehow?

Only the cars that had magnetically adjustable shocks had the stuffers.

Thanks. It does have mag ride shocks, but being a 2000 I believe they’re the f45 shocks, not f55.
