Are there A-piller airbags in these cars? I know in the 2006 we have it is stamped on there but I have not seen a stamp on the one in my 2002.
I may have found a triple gauge pod that will work...

Pretty sure my 2002 has them (GLS trim level with luxury and cold-weather packages), but I'll have a look when I get in the car later to head home from work.

I don't know if either package would impact airbag config, but I also opted for leather seats (which got me the CWP).
Maybe, I'm not really sure what it looks like when those deploy. Anyway my car doesn't have them.

No, but the side curtain airbag (2003+ I think?) does extend partway down the A-pillar. Pretty sure a guage pod would be displaced in a deployment.

I checked when I got into the car earlier tonight to drive home, I have "airbag" tags at the tops of the A-pillars, the tops of the B-pillars, and the outside shoulders of the front seats in addition to the steering wheel and the dashboard above the glovebox.

The pillar airbag tags do indicate an airbag in there, but it's connected above the window to the curtain airbag, so some owners don't call it/consider it a "pillar" airbag. There used to be some videos of the A pillar opening to release the airbag. Honestly, it made me worry even less about items in that area. There's also some (real) pictures on the vortex showing the side curtain exposed airbag deployed and inflated, which is interesting.
