With previous reviews on the original Raceseng facility & Raceseng Slammer 6-Speed Manual Shift Knob (forums) and more recently on the Raceseng Circuit Series Shift Knobs (search on YouTube), it was time to add some Raceseng highlights to the exterior or my project car.

Raceseng has one of the most comprehensive lists of installation guides on their website for all of their products. Simply view or download the detailed installation guides for any of their various products. In terms of the Tug Plate, I followed the instructions and installed the Tug Shaft first then the Tug Plate mount, then the actual Tug Plate backing. The Tug Plate mount has a locking ring to keep the plate oriented and my license plate and plate frame bolted up perfectly. The Tug Plate has plenty of adjustment and I decided to keep the Tug Plate backing almost flush to the front bumper while the Tug Plate mount allowed me to get the license plate aligned and perfectly level. For the Tug Plate View, just bolt it up to the Tug Plate backing and connect any GoPro device. Now I need to get another GoPro to enjoy this new mount. Lastly, the Tug tow hook is the same installation as the Tug Plate (in terms of the Tug Shaft) but then screw the Tug tow hook into the shaft. The Tug tow hook has a locking ring to keep the hook oriented and aligned the way you want.




Raceseng Exterior Tug Package Overall Results and Recommendations:
Whether interior or exterior upgrades, Raceseng offers precision execution of hardware with the utmost attention to detail, presented in equally impressive packaging to give the ultimate driving experience from unboxing through vehicle integration. This full Volkswagen exterior “Tug” package is everything currently offered by Raceseng for the MK5-MK7 platform (Tug Plate, Tug Plate View, Tug Tow Hook). As always, the packaging is designed to build anticipation for the addition of new hardware to your car. Installation was a breeze thanks to well-orchestrated instruction manuals. The fit and finish of these parts is second to none and the razor sharp Raceseng logo engraved adds that great flare without being overstated.
