I am trying to get a TRD strut bar and all I can find are ones for the solara. Will it fit the 99 camry if it was made for a solara from 99-2003?

not only are they hard to find, but they are $150 ... whereas most companies sell them for about $30 [ie: Freedom Designs]
IMO, its not worth it ... if you want to spend $150 on suspension, it should be a TRD Rear Sway bar ... the strut bar makes a difference, but not enough difference to justify that cost
however, like bigbird said - the Gen 1 Solara, Gen 4 Camry, and Gen 3 Camry can share most suspension parts, including the Front Strut Tower Bar and Rear Sway Bar

The Freedom Design one is pretty nice... I haven't gotten a chance to put it on yet though; when I last tried, the bolts at the top of the strut tower were really tight.
It cost me $60 shipped (the part itself is $40), and its adjustable too
And my TRD Sway Bar came in yesterday too; I haven't even opened the box yet :P That cost me $150 shipped, which is really a steal

strut bar was one of my first things for suspension...made a decent difference...bought an "ebay" one...just a simple mounting hardware on a bar...had to modify it a little being as it did not fit the V6 perfectly but it made a difference...paid 30 shipped...well worth 30 bucks...

From what I've heard, you experience a HUGE difference in handling.
I'm gonna put mine on today, but before I do, I'm gonna tape my car doing a slalom motion with the stock sway bar, and then again with the TRD sway bar, just so you guys can spot the difference.

after awhile you won't feel the massive difference from the TRD sway bar. When I first put it on, it felt like I was king of the world. As I was about to handle curves after curves without losing control from my wheel. But now.. it feels all the same. Well not the same as if the bar wasn't there before.
