Golf Cart Accessories To Make Your Cart Unique
By Kerry Graylor
If you are lucky enough to own a golf cart, you are probably willing to spend a little on golf cart accessories to make it unique. Most golf cart owners are regular players and want their cart to be easily recognizable. Most carts are very basic when they come from the manufacturer but there is a huge potential for upgrading them, both for utility and for personalization. It is the equivalent of your car on the golf course, and you do not want it to be exactly like the next guy's.
So the first step in upgrading your golf cart to be the deluxe envy of your friends is to look at the components that are included already and improve them. So for example you could have the seats on your cart re-upholstered in leather. The wheel rims could be replaced, the bumpers can be painted and you could have a new steering wheel or have it covered in leather for a better grip. Of course you will want to have an overall theme to your cart that is pleasing to the eye. You may decide to emphasize chrome, leather or a dark wood finish.
If you decide to go ahead and essentially rebuild the whole golf cart, of course you can do that, but it is likely to be expensive. Unless you are an expert you will probably want to hire some help. You could try asking in your local car body workshops to see if they have any experience of customizing golf carts, or if they think they could do the job. Another option is to ask around at the golf course.
A quicker and probably cheaper option is to purchase a golf cart body kit that can be fitted in an afternoon. You could also use a paint and decal kit for a car, and simply adapt it to your golf cart. This will give you a lot of scope for personalization. It is often a good idea to do a little at a time and then see how your cart looks among the others in your area.
This way you can achieve just the right amount of individuality without making your cart stand out like a Christmas tree. It is always a good sign when golfers that you don't know compliment you on your cart.
To get inspiration on different ways that you might modify your cart, you can look around on the internet for extreme examples and then take some ideas from these to customize your own cart. You will also find a wide range of pre-made golf cart accessories available online.
