Default Seat differences across years

Can anyone shed some light? It seems 2000-2003 are different than 2004-2005. What is the difference?

The only difference I have noticed is that the 04/05 seats seem to be a little firmer.

I don't know what the older seats feel like, but I will say that my 200lb frame barely fits the seat. My ass and back is too wide for the deep bolstered seats

let me take a stab at this since I've purchased several sets of seats to repair theft recoveries:

00-01 the rear plastic panel is the same color as the seat (red=red)
02-03 the rear panel is dark metallic/gun metal color no matter what color the seats are
04-05 the rear panel is silver metallic (similiar to the radio door)
06 complete different

concerning the actual leather or side bolster, i think the 04-05 has softer better leather than the 00-03 but nothing else really different.

The passengers bag shut off indicator is above the radio door.

00-05 passenger seats will not function with the system. The weight sensor is built into the seat rails.

It seems like my 03 seats are firmer than the others I have sat in. Even the earlier cars seemed softer. Maybe it's just a production tolerance, dunno.

The 04-05 seats are not really black -- they are more like charcoal. 00-03 seats are really black.
