Full leather

Can someone please confirm what pieces are in leather if you order code AT full leather. Is it just the dash and the door? With there being 30 other pieces in the car that you can designate in leather it's hard for me to know what comes with the AT package.

I'm not an expert, but from my observations, the full leather option gives you leather on the dash, the side pieces next to the PCM stack, the door panels (but not the window switch plate), and rear quarter panels. I think it adds a nice touch, and aroma, but it isn't cheap. And the dozens of other leather options can get ridiculously expensive. I (personally) don't need leather covered coat hooks on the back of the seats, or leather covered slats in AC vents, etc. For what they charge for full leather, I think the least they could also include is a leather wrapped steering wheel, but you have to get that as another option.

I think Kevin nailed the coverage. It's a nice option but definitely pricey, in my mind it's best displayed in the cab.

Ken's observations mirror my own.

However, I disagree with Redlined above... I love the way the full leather interior smells in my coupe.

Would a leather headliner be over the top? Would it even look appropriate?

It would likely be over the top price wise. I expect it would look good, and smell wonderful.

Don't worry about it. Besides, there are lots of times I see nice P-cars and it takes me a while to notice that they don't have full leather. In other words, it isn't that obviously missing, because the non leather interior looks great too. Better to put the money into options/features that suit your needs and aren't just aesthetic.

Full leather still smells good in a cab too...with the top up. It looks even better with the top down!
