The rest of the interior had a similar look. However, the 99 dash had a grainy plasticee look to it. The owner said all pre-2000 models had this. He may have said pre-03, I'm not sure.
I looked at Wikipedia but it didn't get to that level of detail. Hopefully, someone here knows the answer.

the owner is right.
the pre-2000 came with plastic like dashboard, and all the trim is "regular" plastic.
2000 and up, the dashboard and door panels are leather like material, and all the plastic parts are covered with the soft touch material.
Some cars came with full real leater, but that was an option you could have ordered regardless of the year (as far as i und erstand ).
i also saw some pre 2000 cars with diamond shaped texture plastic dashboard.
