The 99 RT had the new rims as the brand new ones, before that the wheels were different, and so on.
RT/10 Body appearance

Correction:
"Late '95's" still had side exhaust...
'96 RT/10 (and of course, GTS) had rear exhaust

Another correction...there is ONE '98 smooth hooded roadster floating around.

Correct me if I'm wrong...(JonB?)
New Facia was changed when new hood went on RT/10 ('98...except for one!)
"New dash" ... do you mean with "leather finish"? I believe that was '98 at well.

Nope, GTS-style front fascia went on the RT for the few that
were built for the '97 model year. The RT also received
the dash from the GTS for the '97 model year. '97 model year
RTs ALMOST received the GTS hood, and many were delayed well
into calendar year '98 due to problems getting non-GTS style
hoods (as above, the RTs got the GTS hood for the '98 model year-
except for one car, reportedly).
So, the simple answer to the body shape question is:'97 and newer except for the hood and wheels & '98 and newer, except for the wheels, (and 1 car with the older hood) have the same exterior body as the current RTs (there have been plenty of paint color changes along the way, of course, too)

Two quick clarification questions:
1) When did the RT/10 recieve the "updated", less flat-looking front facia that is on the GTS?
2) When did the RT/10 recieve the updated black dash and interior like the GTS?
Thanks,
Matt
