Jul 20th 2017

Summer is here! With temperatures rising, will you and your golf cart be ready?

Want to stand out in your golf cart community?

Whether you take your golf cart to play 18 holes, the pool, the tennis courts, or around town to run errands, adding a few items can make your golf cart stand out.

It’s all about revving up what is nondescript and making it one of a kind.

Tires and Rims

If there’s one way to make your golf cart stand out, it’s with the tires and rims. The variety of tires and rims available today is substantial. Chrome rims that glisten in the sun, black twister rims, or even rims done in blue or red make a bold statement. Consider the color of your golf cart and the effect you want to make.

Lift Kit

Adding a lift kit to your golf cart is a great way to accommodate bigger tires and rims and add speed to your cart. You will also gain more ground clearance, which means you will have less risk of damaging your cart, especially if you are traveling off-road or through a neighborhood that has speed bumps. Plus, the added lift will make your cart more visible to other vehicles.

Paint or Wrap

The first thing you see when you look at a cart is its color and design. Perhaps the most important trick in customizing your cart is to change the painted exterior. You can either go bold with the color and design or go for a subtle look to reflect your tastes.

The sky's the limit when it comes to custom paint jobs, so why settle for an ordinary color? This theory also goes for designs. Whatever you can come up with, there is someone out there who can do it. Into flames, flamingos, palm trees? Go for it.

If getting a new paint job isn’t the best option right now, a golf cart wrap might be good for you. Though most wraps come customized for businesses or schools which typically use them for advertising or in parades, there are a few who will go beyond the typical wrap and customize a look for you.

Seat Cushions

Premium seat cushions can give your golf cart a completely different look, ensuring you and your passengers travel in comfort and style. They come in a large variety of colors and styles so you can match them to the color of your golf cart.

Adding a matching rear flip seat will give you more seating when you need it and, when you don’t, just fold it up. Consider custom seats to add a unique style, such as a football team mascot, to your cart.

Steering Wheel

Steering wheels are a great added touch. There are lots of different styles and colors to choose. A Grant Formula 1 steering wheel can give you that race car feel, and a three-aluminum-spoke wheel gives a sportier look.

If you don’t want to replace the entire steering wheel, steering wheel covers are available in a wide variety.

Stereo Systems

Nothing goes better with cruising around in the summer than some awesome tunes. This idea is especially true if you’re not keeping your cart on the back nine and using it more for putting around the neighborhood or running to the grocery store.

Ride to the beat of your favorite summer playlist with a roof mounted stereo console and a set of speakers.

Golf cart stereo systems can be completely customized with batteries, high power amps, subwoofers, and LED accent lighting.

Because stereo systems these days don’t pull a lot of current from your golf cart, the installation is much easier.

Now, with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can listen to your favorite radio station without having to install or hook up speakers. If you want to listen to use your smartphone, iPod, or Kindle, you just need a Bluetooth speaker.

Fans and Blowers

When the temperatures soar in the summertime, it’s not easy to cruise around the golf course, or the neighborhood, for that matter. The heat can be excruciating, leaving you sweating, dehydrated, and exhausted.

Remedy the situation by adding a golf cart fan. Golf cart fans are perfect if you’re putting around in the heat for extended periods of time. They are relatively inexpensive and come in all shapes and sizes.

Portable clip fans are handy if you don’t want to install anything permanent. Overhead fans are out of the way, and blower fans are the most popular, as they are powerful and can be mounted on the dash or the roof.

There is even one that fits into the cup holder and has an angled adjustment so the fan can be pointed in any direction you choose.

Headlights and Tail Lights

Not only will golf cart light kits make your golf cart stand out, but they add a lot of functionality as well. Front and rear tail lights provide the convenience of seeing the road or path at night and, more importantly, you can be seen by other drivers.

Consider LED lights, as they last longer and are brighter than factory lights. Some fun options with LED lights are LED light bars, pod lights, and dome lights, making your golf cart stand out at night.

Techy Elements

Want to know how fast you’re going? Need reminders about maintenance? A speedometer is perfect for the golf cart enthusiast who wants programmable reminders, a clock, and a distance odometer, and to know the average speed and max speed of their cart and the air temperature.

A digital battery charge indicator is a great and simple gauge which measures battery voltage, providing an estimate of how much time you have until your next charge.

Solar charging systems easily attach to the roof of your golf cart and are very affordable. By utilizing solar power, you’re saving energy and helping the environment out while driving around.
