Fender Flares That Make Everyone Do a Double Take

Why Custom Fender Flares Are Essential for Lifted Golf Carts

Double Take fender flares are aftermarket accessories designed to protect your golf cart and passengers from rocks, gravel, mud, and debris kicked up by oversized tires during off-road or all-terrain use. They're engineered specifically for Double Take body kits and provide both functional protection and aesthetic customization.

Quick Answer for Buyers:

If you've lifted your golf cart and added larger tires, stock fenders no longer provide adequate coverage. That's where these flares come in.

They extend coverage over wider wheel wells, prevent mud from spraying up onto your cart body, and give your build a finished, aggressive look. They're made from durable materials with consistent color throughout—meaning scratches won't reveal a different color underneath.

Important: Double Take fender flares only fit carts already equipped with a Double Take body kit. They will not mount to factory bodies or other aftermarket kits.

Since taking over Extreme Kartz in 2022, I've worked directly with customers navigating upgrades like Double Take fender flares, helping clarify fitment requirements and color-matching across full builds. My focus has been ensuring buyers understand exactly what works with their setup before they order.

Why Choose Double Take Fender Flares for Your Golf Cart?

When we talk about golf cart customization, we often focus on the "big" items like lift kits and lithium batteries. However, Double Take fender flares are the unsung heroes of a high-performance build. These aren't just plastic trim pieces; they are engineered components designed to withstand the rigors of off-road environments.

One of the standout features is their premium ABS-acrylic construction. This material is specifically chosen for its high-impact resistance. If you’ve ever kicked up a heavy stone while driving through a trail, you know how easily standard plastic can crack. These flares are designed to take that hit and keep going. Furthermore, they are Made in the USA, ensuring a level of quality control and manufacturing pride that we value here at Extreme Kartz.

For those running oversized tires, these flares provide essential passenger protection. Without them, a wet trail or a gravel path turns into a mess, as tires throw mud and rocks directly into the cabin. By adding these flares, you create a dedicated shield that keeps the interior of your cart—and your passengers—clean and safe.

Compatibility and Body Kit Styles

At Extreme Kartz, we prioritize fitment accuracy above all else. It is vital to understand that Double Take fender flares are part of a proprietary ecosystem. They are designed to integrate seamlessly with specific Double Take body kits, including the Spartan, Phoenix, Titan, and Phantom lines.

Because these bodies have unique lines and contours compared to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) bodies, these flares are preconfigured to match those specific curves. If you try to install these on a standard factory body, the mounting points and radius will not align.

Double Take Fender Flares for Phoenix and Spartan Bodies

The Phoenix and Spartan bodies are among the most popular choices for enthusiasts looking to revitalize older carts. The Double Take fender flares for these models offer a precision-engineered fit that looks factory-installed rather than "bolted on."

For the Club Car DS owners using the Spartan body, these flares are a necessity to complete the rugged look. You can find the Double Take Fender Flare Set for Spartan Body, Club Car DS, Black to match your build perfectly. Similarly, the Phoenix body kits for the EZGO RXV and Club Car Precedent utilize a specific flare shape that follows the sweeping lines of the Phoenix nose and rear cowl.

Fitment for Titan and Other Double Take Kits

The Titan body kit, primarily for the EZGO TXT, is known for its aggressive styling. The flares designed for this kit are equally bold. Each set comes as a complete 4-piece kit (two front and two rear) and includes all the necessary stainless steel mounting hardware.

For a deeper dive into how these kits transform your cart, check out our EZGO TXT DoubleTake Body Kit Guide. Whether you are using the Titan or the Vortex kit, the goal is a seamless integration where the flare looks like a natural extension of the bodywork.

Material Durability and Color Customization

We often get asked why these flares cost more than the generic sets found on massive marketplaces. The answer lies in the material: Duroformed HMW (High Molecular Weight) plastic.

Unlike cheap injection-molded plastic that is painted on the surface, Double Take uses a solid color-through process. This means the color exists throughout the entire thickness of the material. If you scratch a Navy Blue flare against a branch on the trail, the scratch will still be Navy Blue—not white or grey. This scratch concealment, combined with excellent UV resistance to prevent fading in the sun, makes them a long-term investment for your cart.

The Double Take Fender Flares Color-Match System

The Double Take Color-Match System is a game-changer for clean, intentional styling. Double Take doesn’t just make fender flares; they build an entire ecosystem of parts designed to share the same color spectrum. That means you can create a cart where the flares actually match the pieces people notice up close, like your dash and your upholstery. If you want the look to feel truly “built,” pair your flares with color-coordinated seating from the Double Take Cushion Collection.

With 18+ available colors, including high-gloss pearls and rugged camouflage patterns, the customization options are nearly endless. For a complete overview of how these parts work together, see our Double Take Golf Cart Parts Ultimate Guide.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Installing Double Take fender flares is a straightforward DIY project that most owners can complete in under an hour. Since these are designed for specific bodies, the alignment is usually very intuitive.

1. Preparation: Your flares will arrive with a protective plastic film. Do not remove this until you have finished the installation to prevent accidental scratches during the process.
2. Alignment: Hold the flare against the body kit to find the "sweet spot" where the curves match.
3. Drilling: Using the flare as a template, you will typically need to drill small pilot holes for the mounting hardware.
4. Securing: Use the included stainless steel hardware to secure the flares. Stainless steel is crucial here to prevent rust streaks down the side of your beautiful body kit over time.

For maintenance, these flares require very little. A simple wash with mild soap and water is usually enough. Because of their high-impact ABS-acrylic nature, they can handle the occasional bump without shattering. If you are also installing a rear seat, you might find our DoubleTake Max 6 Helix Seat Kit Guide helpful for coordinating your installation schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions about Double Take Fender Flares

Will these flares fit a stock golf cart body?

No. Double Take fender flares are specifically engineered to fit Double Take aftermarket body kits (Phoenix, Spartan, Titan, etc.). The mounting points and the radius of the wheel wells are different from the factory OEM bodies. If you have a stock body, you will need to look for "universal" or "OEM-style" flares instead.

Does the mounting hardware come included with the set?

Yes. Every set of Double Take fender flares we sell includes all necessary mounting hardware. Typically, this consists of stainless steel screws or plastic push rivets, depending on the specific model and body kit style.

Are these fender flares sold as a complete set of four?

Yes. When you order a set, you receive four flares: two for the front wheel wells and two for the rear. This ensures a uniform look and full protection for all passengers.
