Bumpers, signal lights, running lights, then take it tot he tag office and see what happens. They will probally hit ya with bumper or headlight height and they work you over on the lack of crash testing

I'm pretty sure your going to need a windshield and a wiper also. Try going to a GolfCart Place that legalizes golfcarts for some tips, just FYI it will be considered a lowspeed vehicle 35mph or less area only.

UTV has off road titles in the state of FL. They wont give you a tag because of this...

Exactly... The only way is to get it prepped to meet all the other regulations and then find a state that will allow it to tranfer to an onroad title. then you have to register it in that state and then bring it back to Florida...
