Default PDK Trim wear on GT3

Anyone else have the red lettering coming of their PDK shifter trim like mine? Wondering this is something dealer can replace not sure if the damage is from heat or just normal wear overtime from wiping it down.

Odd. Possible clean with too strong of a cleaner.

How much are you cleaning it? And as Meaker stated, what are you using as a cleaner?

I wipe mine down gently with a damp micro fibre cloth. How dirty can it get?

LOL not sure I bought the car like this. I thought the outside of the car was cleaned with sand paper I spent lots of time having the whole car paint corrected just to remove all the swirls. I might just by new PDK bezel part to replace this since the rest on the interior is in good condition.

Why not just have the red letters touched up by a good paint shop (or remove the remaining red for a cleaner look)? That part is likely very expensive (unless you find one at a junk yard from a crashed GT3).

Thumbs up

Happy to report that my local dealer was able to swap the part under my new car warranty. The same time the PDK shifter had peeling inside the shaft so that also was replaced. PNA had decline my claim but thanks to my service manager not giving up since this not normal wear they finally accepted warranty claim. If you guys are in SOCAL Rusnak in Westlake has an amazing service team. Ask for Rene
