Default Shift boot for PDK installed.

I finally finished installing my leather shift boot for my PDK this week. I ordered the trim piece and it took 3 weeks to get the part. I want to thank Lambomike58 for the information and MJG911 for providing me the great deal on his used shift boot. If you haven't done this mod, it looks awesome and is fairly easy to do.

Order the 981 black leather / red stitching boot and **** combo from Sunset Porsche Parts. They had the best pricing and they were very attentive to my needs. You can get these in other colored stitching as well. For me personally I did it for the red stitching, it goes along with the rest of the GTS interior package along with the 991 carbon folding buckets which I have with red stitching.

981-424-075-20-DRM + 991-553-651-01-A05 (automatic transmission shift cover plate)

I was stuck on how to remove the center plate but technically It just pops out. Collar on the PDK **** just twists and then you pull it off. I zip tied the boot to the collar to give it a nice flush look as instructed here on this tread. Thanks for sharing everyone!

Yes and I should have ordered the trim for the lock and hazard from them. They carry the boot as well. I got the boot from a forum member MJG911. He swaped his original for the alcatera.

Brilliant upgrade. I fine the reflective silver on the 991's center console distracting at certain times of the day. The standard silver trim is bad, and the PDK "plate" only makes it worse.

Any chance someone could do a diy with some pics? Someone else was nice enough to explain but I still don’t understand the steps....especially the turning the boot inside out stuff. Thanks for any help!
