These are aftermarket or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) accessories designed to attach to the body of a specific model of golf cart, the Club Car Precedent. Their primary function is to extend the wheel well, providing additional coverage around the tires. An example would be a set of black, molded plastic additions that are bolted onto the cart’s existing body panels, offering a wider profile.
The inclusion of these components serves multiple purposes. They offer enhanced protection against mud, water, and debris kicked up by the tires, preventing it from splashing onto passengers or the golf cart’s body. This contributes to a cleaner and more comfortable ride, particularly on unpaved surfaces. Furthermore, they can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle, providing a more rugged or customized look. Historically, similar protective additions have been used on various types of vehicles to mitigate spray and maintain cleanliness.
