HANSVILLE — Apparently 12-inch lift kits and spinning hubcaps aren’t just for superstar rapper Xzibit and custom repairman Mad Mike of MTV’s “Pimp My Ride.”

What that duo can do in their West Coast Customs car shop in Los Angeles, Dennis Kommer, 51, can do in “the boonies” of Hansville — to golf carts.

“We need a sign that says ‘you’ve reached the boonies, home of the golf carts,’” said laughing wife and bookkeeper Beth Kommer, 43, of the husband/wife duo.

From chrome trim to extended roofs and monster tires, The Golf Cart Guys, located off Twin Spits Road in Hansville, can do it all. Building and repairing are Dennis’ specialties.

“He’s not the type of guy who comes home from work and sits in a chair until bedtime,” she said.

In fact, Dennis still works full time as a truck driver for Cleaver Construction. On the weekends and into week nights, Dennis works away on his cart projects.

As of April 1, The Golf Cart Guys has been in business for a year, and locals might have already seen Dennis’ creations around town.

Out on Poulsbo’s Babe Ruth Little League fields his created green cart “Slugger” grooms the dirt between games.

Clear Creek RV uses one of his custom-built carts to shuttle customers around company grounds and his carts are gaining popularity at the Bremerton Raceway. They’re used to drag the dragsters to and from the starting line.

Currently, Dennis is repairing one for Ron Hemley, owner of Poulsbo’s Hemley’s Septic Services, so he can use it between drag races.

“It’s got lots of bling bling,” Dennis said of the yellow cart complete with chrome-colored flames. “A six CD changer, tilted steering wheel, 12-inch lift and those are 22 [inch] wheels and tires.”

The two said they are looking forward to the future trends of going green, especially solar panels.

Dennis said carts complete with solar power can go about 33 percent further than electric charges alone.

“We didn’t know all the uses for golf carts until we started this,” Dennis said.

The two, who live and work down a long gravel lane, use their cart when it’s raining to take their son to the bus stop and take trash to the pickup site.

“There are so many different uses,” he said. “It’s unlimited what you can do.”

Of course, Dennis’ carts can be used by regular golfers too.

“Here in this state, enclosures are the most important thing, and heaters and lights,” Dennis said.

However, there are plenty of ways to trick carts to stand out from the run-of-the-mill generics.

Dennis said people can spend anywhere from $1,000 to $15,000 to purchase and trick out their golf cart, depending on what they want.

Dealer catalogues boast Jeep and Corvette models, heated seats and fiberglass enclosures with sliding doors.

“Anything that can be done to cars can be done to golf carts,” he said.

So lay on the chrome, lean the seat back and ride.

As Xzibit would say, it’s style fit for a ‘gangsta,’ not gramps any more.
