How can you tell? Just looked at a car on E-Bay same seats as mine listed as parchment leather - someone else mentioned that mine were Tex Mex. How can you tell the difference?

I think the 1999 cars have leather inserts. There is also a full leather option and the door panel inserts look distinctly different compared to the standard equipment.
