I think if you choose Extended Leather part of the gear selector is covered in Leather?
Not according to the configurator...but it is if the PDK gear selector carbon with gear selector knob leather option is selected @ £380 🤔🤔🤣🤣

If it does, it still comes across as plasticky, particularly compared to the previous PDK levers.

Not according to the configurator 🤔
It's under GT heated steering wheel - then you get leather gear selector or under leather interior section, select carbon and leather PDK selector - also leather but this time with carbon...

Fortunately I've ordered the GT wheel so hopefully I'll notice the difference....

Doesn’t mention it in the configurator. But maybe someone with a gen3 and extended leather can share?

It is quite plasticy - sadly the steering wheel has more visible plastic than the previous gens as well.
My stumpy plastic lever in the 992 is cracked…

Will have to have a look next week when I’m seeing one with the gt wheel. The extended leather car I drove had the normal wheel.

I’m going racetex to try and brighten it up anyway.

Interesting. My gear selector in the Macan has deteriorated (the OPC says the chrome is peeling off) and I've been told it's only £799.01 to replace it. Apparently my extended warranty doesn't cover "trim items" and the gear selector is apparently deemed to be a "trim item".
Macan S collected 4 Dec 2017 - Jet Black, 20" SportDesign, Agate/Pebble, 18-way, Pano roof, Bi-Xenons with PDLS, Surround View, PASM, PS+, spare wheel, towbar.
