Default Standard leather

On a 997 C2 what comes in leather as standard? For example is the steering wheel rims leather or vinyl? the shift **** and boot? the e brake? the door pulls? I'm asking because I would like to condition the leather on my car but don't want to be conditioning vinyl with leather conditioner.

The steering wheel is leather in standard interior according to Porsche.

"Standard Features - 911 Carrera

Interior 3-spoke steering wheel in leather with full-color Porsche crest"

I don't know rest since my car is full leather.

Here is a link that may help you a little. If is for a 996 but should give you a general idea of what is and is not leather.

The seating areas are leather. The back of the driver/passenger sears is not and I believe the rear seats are not as well.

Shift ****, boot, hand brake lever, steering wheel and seating surfaces (i.e. where your body rests) are leather. The rest is plastic, or leatherette as the salesmen would say.

If you order sport seats they are finished in a less grainy leather than the standard seats; Porsche used to refer to it as a smooth leather but I'm not sure if they still do.
