I want a leather wrapped steering wheel, with micro-fiber seat inserts. But If that is not possible (it isn't), I'll go straight Napa.

I think you'll regret that decision. You can fairly easily swap out the steering wheel if the microfiber actually bothers you (it probably won't). Trying to get the microfiber seat inserts afterwards would not be as easy. I had some reservations about the steering wheel (my C7 had microfiber seat inserts, but the steering wheel was leather), but with 7 months of ownership and over 2,000 miles the microfiber steering wheel is a non-issue. I actually like it - just like the seat inserts, the steering wheel is warmer to the touch in cold weather and much cooler in hot weather.
