Is the PDK shifter leather?

[lofi]

Pretty much that question.  I am looking to dye it black but I read somewhere that its plastic rather than leather.  Anyone know if this is the case?  My car does not have the extended leather dash.

No one knows, this will not do 😆

Hot sunny day, sweaty palms, dyed gearshifter? What could possibly go wrong

This from a 987.2 product brochure ( so may of course be completely different in the 981) 

In the interior, as well as leather on the steering wheel, PDK selector/gear lever, handbrake lever and door handle, the Boxster S
has leather trim on the storage compartment covers in the doorand the rear centre console. 

I think that means - yup its leather, and the S gets a bit more leather in other bits.....

Thanks, I’ll give it a go. Done plenty of steering wheels so if it’s leather, should be ok

yes the S did get a few bits of standard leather as per above

I can confirm that it is leather and Luxor beige takes a colour change well

As far as I am aware all the leather re -finishes (sold by Furniture Clinic for example) are a paint not a dye so leather or plastic makes no odds. The centre of my 997 seats are not leather but I still re coloured them, finished with the sealer  (not everyone does) and there have been no issues.
