Rugged Black Diamond-Plate Styling for Your Club Car DS
The SGC Black Powder-Coated Front Bumper Cover gives the front of your Club Car DS a tougher, more finished appearance without the shine of polished aluminum.
Raised diamond-plate texture remains visible through the black finish, creating a coordinated look for carts equipped with black wheels, brush guards, running boards, lift components, or other powder-coated accessories.
This is a formed aluminum cover for the cartโs front bumper area. It is not a replacement structural bumper or brush guard.
Verified Club Car DS Fitment
Steeleng lists FBDS01 for:
- Club Car DS golf carts
- Model years 1982 and newer
This cover is specific to the Club Car DS platform. It is not intended for Club Car Precedent, Tempo, Onward, or other body styles.
Black Powder-Coated Aluminum Construction
FBDS01 is manufactured from aluminum diamond plate and finished with a black powder coating. The finish provides a subdued alternative to traditional polished diamond plate while retaining the recognizable raised tread pattern.
Product highlights include:
- Aluminum diamond-plate construction
- Black powder-coated finish
- Raised diamond tread pattern
- Model-specific Club Car DS design
- Mounting hardware included
- Manufacturer-described installation in minutes
- Two-year SGC factory warranty
The black finish can be cleaned with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or aggressive cleaners that could scratch or dull the powder coating.
Black or Polished: Choose Your Finish
FBDS01 is the black powder-coated version for carts with darker trim and accessories.
For a brighter, reflective finish, consider the Club Car DS Polished Aluminum Diamond-Plate Front Bumper Cover | FBDS02. Both versions provide the same style of front bumper-area upgrade in different finishes.
Whatโs Included

- Mounting hardware
Only the bumper cover and associated mounting hardware are included. A replacement bumper, brush guard, and other accessories are not included.
