Does anybody know if the seats in the 99-03 solara match any other toyota models? I'm having a hard time finding solara specific seats so thought maybe they might be the same as the camry's or something else possibly. if you know please let me know. Thanks!

No other Toyota models match Solara seats 100%. What exactly do you want to do? Just in case you'd like to know, the 99-03 leather seats are identical but the features differ (w/o airbags, w/ airbags, or w/ airbags + heated seats). The gen 1 (99-01) & gen 1.5 (02-03) cloth seats differ in pattern; side airbags and heated aren't available options on the cloth seats. All Gen 1/1.5 Solara seats are swappable but may not be plug & play, depending on features.

I'm looking at replacing the seats completely or finding covers for them. I've look at things like clazzio or katskin but they don't offer solara specific covers.

Did you get this done? Check out leatherseats.com. You keep your original seats, but pull the cover off and put new on. Not bad if you've got the patience.

Thats a little expensive for me at this point. What I ended up doing, which doesn't look to bad, is I bought some black leather dye. I went over all of the seats with the black leather dye multiple times. It gave them a fresher look and hid most of the creases and cracks. It did change the color the seats to darker gray/black, but Its a decent fix for now and doesn't look cheesy IMO.

Haha! yeah I did worry about that. I tested it with some white sweatpants and nothing rubbed off, so I think I'm good to go.
