Cool Golf Carts
Cool golf carts take many different shapes, styles and sizes. There are more stock golf carts being modified with custom parts and accessories every day, and there's no sign of this phenomenon stopping. If you're looking for a way to make your own ride cool then there's a good chance that you can create a vehicle for yourself that is different than anything you've seen on the course. The number of unique modifications is endless, but eventually you'll have to settle on something. Here is a couple of common custom changes available and how they turn regular models into cool golf carts that will turn heads on the green.
Interior Seats
Nothing says cool like a custom golf cart seat with custom accessories like golf cart windshields. Most of the stock carts on the market come with basic seats that are often uncomfortable and look very plain, making it the first item on the to-do list of those who like to modify their golf carts. What's even better is the fact that the custom seats are suitable for both gas and electric models. This is rarely the case when it comes to parts and accessories and it drives down the cost of seats for cool golf carts dramatically because they aren't specific to the different designs.
The most expensive seats used for cool golf carts are made out of leather. This material is not only very comfortable but can also have embroidered sport's logos or even a favorite golfing country club as part of the design. However, leather tends to tear and rip over time and the seats of golf carts will need to be replaced. They also need to be kept very clean because moisture and dirt will cause them to start ripping more quickly. Leather seats for cool golf carts are a great purchase for anyone who is prepared to replace them.
However, the most popular choice of seat material for cool golf carts is vinyl because it is waterproof and incredibly durable. Whenever it gets dirty, vinyl is easy to wash off and clean. Also, because of the fact that it is used so widely, there are thousands of different designs available as well. However, vinyl is a better choice for someone living in a cool area. If golf carts with vinyl seats are used in humid areas then the material will become very hot and make for an uncomfortable ride.
The vinyl used for cool golf carts will also start to get sticky from perspiration and begin to tear as it is heated. For someone living in a hot or humid area, it's best to purchase awning fabric for their custom cool golf carts. This is the material used for sky chairs because it is resistant to UV radiation from sun exposure. It stays cool even in the warmest of temperatures and comes in a variety of stylish patterns.
Windshields for Golf Carts
Another common modification for those who want to make their vehicle look stylish is windshield installation. The permanent types of windshields used are very similar to those made for real cars, although one-pieces do not have the option of rolling down. The two-piece designs are the best to buy if you're seeking both style and comfort. Not only do they make the cart they're installed to look cool, but they also make it feel cool as well thanks to ventilation they provide during hot days out on the course. While permanent windshields are a great buy and last for a long period of time without needing replacement, it's important to take care of them.
When cleaning plastic windshields it is best to avoid using ammonia-based soap because it will scratch the surface. This same rule applies with using paper towels and sprays because they will permanently fog the windshields. You should use normal soap and water and wash the surfaces without applying much pressure. You can also purchase windshield cleaner and polish that will take care of most minor scratches. However, if you feel that permanent windshields require too much attention and money then there is always the option of using an enclosure for the vehicle instead.
An enclosure is a temporary covering that can be attached to the frame of models and is generally made out of vinyl because it can be made transparent. Not only are enclosures inexpensive, they also rarely need to be replaced because they are very resilient and easy to wash. Enclosures strap to the bottom of the vehicle's frame so that none of the cart will be exposed to dirt or moisture that could threaten the integrity of it. This is a great feature for those who have other expensive parts installed to their custom cool golf carts, such as interior seats or radios.
