Neither the piece above the dash nor the sides of the stereo will be in leather in a standard interior. Those are two of the key things, in addition to the dash, door, gear shift, parking brake that come in leather in the full leather package.

I MUCH prefer the full leather personally, but it is expensive. It makes perfect sense to me that many folks do not prioritize it high if their option budget is tight. It is even more valuable in lighter colors. IF you want a richer looking interior and are wiling to fork over the $$, then go for it. Not the end of the world if you dont.
