If you’re looking to upgrade your golf cart without breaking the bank, we’ve got you covered. Here are some simple ways to enhance your cart, the general price ranges you can expect and a few products to help you get started.
Add a roof rack for extra storage
If you find yourself running out of space for your gear, a roof rack is one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your golf cart. It takes advantage of an area that’s often unused. Roof racks are great for coolers, beach chairs, a golf push cart and more. Most roof racks are made from lightweight but durable materials and are fairly easy to install without drilling into your cart.
The KEMIMOTO Golf Cart Roof Rack is compatible with E-Z-GO TXT models. It is rust- and scratch-resistant and the installation process is straightforward.
Add an overhead storage organizer
Roof racks are great for large gear but an overhead storage bag is better suited for small items such as your wallet, sunglasses and phone. These storage bags typically feature straps and buckles for secure attachment.
The PGMoon Golf Cart Ceiling Storage Bag is made from 600D nylon and is built to withstand frequent use.
Upgrade your seat covers
Seat covers can be used to cover worn upholstery but they work if you want to change the style of your cart as well. The most important thing here is the fit.
Check dimensions carefully and look for seat cover brands that specifically match the seats of your particular cart.
The NOKINS Golf Cart Diamond Seat Covers Kit is available in a variety of colors and features a diamond-stitched vinyl seat cover that fits E-Z-GO TXT and RXV models.
Swap to a custom steering wheel
Changing your golf cart’s steering wheel can enhance the appearance and the driving experience. It’s also one of the simplest DIY upgrades.
Many aftermarket wheels offer a better grip, a thicker feel and updated styling compared to factory wheels.
The GreenChoosy Golf Cart Steering Wheel comes in a few different styles including a classic vintage wood grain.
Add rearview and side mirrors for safety
If your golf cart didn’t come with mirrors (or if the ones you have are small and shaky), adding a full mirror kit is one of the easiest and smartest upgrades.
10LOL makes good golf cart mirror products. You can buy them as a complete kit or just the individual mirrors you want to replace.
Install LED underbody lights
LED underglow lights are a fun upgrade. They also enhance nighttime visibility and safety. Modern light kits offer millions of color combinations, music sync modes and app- or remote-control features. They’re usually waterproof and easy to install on most golf carts.
The Nilight Golf Cart Underbody Light Kit is an affordable option that works with 12V to 65V systems.
Add a rechargeable golf cart fan
Golf cart fans are not just great for warm summer rounds. They also come in handy for keeping bugs out of the cart. Golf cart fans mount easily to roof supports, offer multiple speed settings and often double as portable lights. Many come with USB ports for charging your phone.
The Roykaw Golf Cart Portable Rechargeable Fan offers 360-degree head adjustment and doubles as a power bank for your phone.
Install a simple magnetic clip for organization
This is a new upgrade I’ve just discovered that is cheap and useful. The clip can be used as a magnetic sunglass holder or for your hat or keys.
While you can probably find basic magnetic clips to make this work, the Femlotank Magnetic Sunglass Holder is made with a durable magnet and it’s specifically designed for metal frames.
Final thoughts
You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade your golf cart. With a few smart, affordable DIY upgrades, you can customize your ride for better storage, safety, comfort and style. When ordering DIY golf cart upgrades, always check the installation process so you are prepared when the product comes.
