What trailer hitch kits do you offer for them? This version is a little funky where there are faux exhaust outlets in the rear and the exhaust actually turns down before the bumper. Thank you in advance.

For your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen I recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 as we had the chance to install it on a vehicle exactly like yours and found it fit really well and unlike the Curt hitch for your vehicle does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.
