When it comes to accessories like starters, alternators, power steering pumps, A/C compressors, and water pumps, Tuff Stuff Performance is a name that has been leading the industry for many years.
According to Frank Hurst, president, and CEO of Tuff Stuff, “We want every one of our customers to become a customer for life. We realize this doesn’t just happen and that we have to earn that loyalty. To that end, our quality standards are very high. Tuff Stuff Performance Accessories is a family-owned business that’s been producing top-shelf products for more than 30 years. We continue to modernize and improve our processes and products. We are committed to being the number-one accessories producer, and that commitment intensifies with every new product we produce.”
For years, the company has used the catchphrase, “Our chrome will get you home.” That’s a great concept, and all good things can get even better. In case you didn’t know, Tuff Stuff has more than just chrome goodness to accentuate the underhood area of your hot rod.
Not only are there show-quality chrome parts, but you can also get your parts in a variety of colors, including Tuff Stuff’s proprietary Stealth Black powdercoating. According to Mike Stasko of Tuff Stuff, “the Stealth Black finish is a custom-blended powdercoat that is designed to better resists oils, underhood chemicals, and temperatures. The powdercoat is electrostatically applied and baked on to provide a harder, more durable, long-lasting finish.”
While most powdercoated items have a glossy sheen, the Stealth Black finish is a satin finish. All Tuff Stuff products ranging from high-amp alternators, high-flow Super Cool water pumps and high-torque starters are available in Stealth Black.
While Tuff Stuff Performance offers various finishes for its many components, we’re told the Stealth Black finish has been widely accepted by enthusiasts.
