Default What parts of leather interior is REAL leather?

I appears the only the center section of the seats are leather. Is this correct? Is the steering wheel leather? Anything else?

I own an interior repair company and most cars factory seats are vinyl. Generally the only leather parts on them is the middle part of the seat and the rest is vinyl. When it comes to the door panels most of them are vinyl too. Some steering wheels are leather some are made of a rubber compound with a vinyl coating on it like Z.

That pretty vague... "some steering wheels are leather some are made of rubber compound with vinayl coating on it"

Kinda like saying some kicthen tables are made of glass but others are made of wood...????? all cars have different trim levels.. some have this, others have that..

No, they're pretty much the same as factory. Only the "flat" parts you sit on are leather, the sides and back are vinyl.

Unless you get a high-$ custom job like you'd see in a show car or restoration, it won't be 100% leather.
