Installing A Raceseng Tow Hook & Shift Knob On The GT4

Our friends over at Raceseng sent us over some really sweet accessories for the GT4. First up is the tow hook which is pretty straightforward and looks amazing on the front of the GT4. It'll be used for helping load and unload the car onto trailers. Next is the Stratose Alcantara shift knob which replaces the cheap plastic shift knob that comes on the GT4. Install is really straightforward and is a must have for anyone with a manual GT4.

I can’t wait til Porsche gentlemen applies to me.

[@gyeoxn7815]

Lol

[@j86alvarez]

Porsche guys get the "Morning Gents" Honda Guys get the "sup Honda Brooos"

[@Theonlywone]

And Tesla owners get "hello Tesla nerds" 😂😂😂

[@bleckndecker]

Looking forward to a “Slumming it wash and chat” or “Wash and chat while slumming” at the new house.

[@coreywagganer]

I'm really looking forward to the "in the driveway with my people" wash and talk.

[@tailopez5106]

That montage of the shift knob though 😳

[@davechapman1371]

It just feels wrong to take off a genuine Porsche part and replace it with one that comes with a zip tie. It’s like putting ice in wine.

[@RayNLA]

Matt is definitely going to ceramic coat the new tow hook

[@stablesjb]

Wow, quite some time ago (I think the s2000) I suggested that you do the shift boot that way (invert it and use a zip tie) and you mocked me. Glad to see you came to your senses. Nice work, clean install.

[@utbigpapa]

For those reading this, that is exactly how Raceseng tells you to do it, too.

[@_Suzuka_Joe]

We’ve been doing it this way since the early 2000s lol.

[@matthewbrown2479]

That voids your warranty Imagine😹

[@moneyparhar]

Matt gave me idea. I did install short shift kit on my 2005 c2. I end up breaking the the turn clip that holds the fabric to shift knob. I can use zip tie plus it's hides anyway.

[@RobSchlegel]

I don’t track my car, but I do trailer it just to drive on a road with turns

[@Azspeedin]

They are the best properly weighted shift knobs!

[@xantonin]

Thumbs up for the EDM montage.

[@dandookie1738]

Not sure if it’s on my end, I have a few years old Samsung TV but it only seems like OG videos lag like they’re buffering but the audio continues.

[@warrenroach2800]

Can't wait until the garage is finished!

[@1musicsearcher]

The shifter knob montage is pure gold.

[@BrendanNunez]

Is that a gopro Mount on the top of the one?

[@bachmeister]

Hi, I am curious which model number you used for the Raceseng tow hook. I emailed them and they said they don't currently have a fitment for a 718 GT4. Thank you

[@ObsessedGarage]

They are still working on it. The one I have doesn't fit. I just test fitted one for them. It should be out soon.

[@bachmeister]

@@ObsessedGarage ok thank you for the reply 👍

[@pierrekitts7089]

Just emailed as well for a 2022 718 GT4 out soon and this is an email on 4/27/2022

[@deweberis2709]

🤔 Matt is a fake neurotic. If he had OCPD he would install another pierceing... ehrrr... toolhook on the other side too, for symmetry sake. But now he has to corner balance the suspension, bcs it unbalanced the weight distribution 😎

[@rei39]

I was really hoping today's video might be a House/Garage vlog update.

[@joshbutts5742]

There is an long one on Inside the Hex yesterday

[@deweberis2709]

Hoooo... Matt disturbed the balance of the... shift knob lever. 😳 Now the the heavier knob will make the lever lean to the sides and grind the gears. Have to counterbalance it with some weight opposite to the ball joint lever. 🤓

[@llRaZzLeDaZzLell]

I don't get it, you don't like badges etc on yours cars, but a huge silver/black tow hook that is sticking out and asymmetrical on the front bumper is ok?

[@nate7906]

Wow, you really didn’t watch the video before commenting.👏

[@JonIbrahim]

Matt- you gotta get a magbak for your phone so you can still charge but it holds the phone secure to your magnetic mount in the Porsche

[@tuneman7688]

I added a BFI Knob, very similar to the one in this video, on my B8.5 S4. Huge improvement in the shift quality between the weight of the shifter and the vice grip adapter that really makes the shifter/linkage feel like one solid unit. I regret not doing the mod sooner. I also installed a Rennline phone mount based on seeing you add it to the GT4 a few months ago. Similar issue to yours, I have an iPhone XR and while it doesn't completely fall off the mount, on bigger bumps the phone will sometimes slide down or go off center.

[@PS3BM1195]

I 3D printed a mount for an Apple Magsafe charger for my car and the official one holds like crazy. I also had a couple of third party “Magsafe” car chargers and they were all junk. I think you can find an adapter for the official one on Amazon.

[@HR-zc1mi]

Honda bro effect @19:42!

[@mqandil]

Great video. Both items look very classy. Thanks also for the tip to stick with black for the shifter. I guess pink is out of the question..Mark

[@keithgreer1]

I have the Rennline phone mount and a MagSafe iPhone 12. Just put a metal plate in there and it will stick well. I put it between the case and the phone

[@antonyv8171]

So surprised you didn’t ceramic coat the tow hook man with some Exo or CSL😂😂😂😂

[@gahansel]

EDM montage......I don't know why that made me laugh so hard. Great job Bryce!

[@rainydaysroofer9474]

I use that skin wedge tool everyday doing architectural sheet metal. Metal siding /roofing and all types of flashings

[@frankesposito5817]

Did you consider the Function First shift knob? was wondering what the weight difference is.

[@MrBigbeefguy]

Are you planning on getting the Dundon headers and OAPs for the GT4?

[@timothywolleck7628]

You should get a nylon tow strap if you don’t want to scratch that nice tow hook.

[@1337Hans]

not sure about that shift knob...they should have matched the alcantara...

[@noahscott9539]

We need a wash and chat with the M3. It’s long overdue.

[@lilman1234able]

I'm a simple man. I see a new Obsessed Garage video and i click to watch and click the like button.

[@mikepelch1969]

Any plans to add the shark werks revised gear set?

[@DarkKnight-ws3wx]

What if there is nothing black on your car?

[@plutodestroyer12]

Tow hook and shift knob = $500 tyvm

[@supahmac]

When the EDM kicks in... lmao

[@kazm4g]

Raceseng makes great KNOBS!

[@rashedsasmr6648]

I got an ad for obsessed garage on this video🤔

[@KRBY555]

Anyone got one of those knobs on an e46?

[@seanstolarik8744]

I'd put anti seize on the threads.

[@speedisf]

Great job nice video

[@Espensoreide]

the EDM part 😂😂😂🔥

[@dommy114]

When are you going to fix the terrible audio you have in every video?

[@henryhealy]

I wouldn’t call the audio in every video terrible. Wouldn’t have called it bad even.

[@j.christ8786]

Needs more chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water

[@brandynshroyer4240]

Looks great

[@thomasstokes2796]

Nein verbrauchermarkt!!

[@frrancisco]

really matt? cell phone mount? lol

[@chrisnas1483]

All that work and money you put into the car but I don't see any HIDs LEDs in the headlights or the flood lights or any LEDs in the back lights🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@lilman1234able]

you won't see anything like that in his videos. he likes OEM Plus mods. Even the civic didn't get hids or leds. looks cheap.

[@Ruhdiculus]

They're all factory led

[@ObsessedGarage]

That’s only because I don’t do junk.

[@lilman1234able]

@@ObsessedGarage YES!!! Man, that GT4 is gorgeous!

[@gloomyxyz]

We are curious what is making you believe that P cars don't have OEM LED headlights? Flood light? This is not an off-road or an outlander vehicle.
