Transforming Vehicles With Creativity And Community Spirit

Founded by Mike Kelliher and co-owned with Bryce, ACI Wraps in Seymour, Connecticut, has evolved from a small two-bay shop to a 4,000-square-foot facility offering top-notch vehicle wraps, detailing, and paint protection services.

Established nearly a decade ago, ACI Wraps has made its mark on the local community and beyond with a wide range of customization options, from color change wraps for luxury exotics to specialized graphics for motorcycles and even snowmobiles.

What started as a small venture has now become a reputable name in vehicle customization, handling around 75% color change wraps with prices ranging from $2,500 to $3,000 on average. According to Mike, "When we first started, people didn’t really know what vinyl wrapping was. Now, it’s more common, and people even recognize it from platforms like TikTok." This growing awareness has allowed ACI Wraps to expand their offerings to include window tinting, ceramic coating, and paint protection film (PPF).

One of the standout projects Mike and his team took on was a full wrap on a Porsche 918, which cost around $10,000. This wasn’t the most challenging project, however, as that title goes to wrapping four rally cars in just three weeks—all with custom designs. ACI Wraps’ commitment to delivering top-tier service is reflected in their willingness to tackle complex and demanding projects, ensuring that each vehicle leaves their shop looking pristine.

ACI Wraps is not only about the vehicles, though. The business is heavily involved in the local Seymour community, participating in car shows and parades to support local causes. “We try to do as much as we can for the community,” Mike explains, recalling their participation in the annual Christmas parade where they showcase 15-20 wrapped cars. Their involvement in the car community goes beyond their shop, extending to their presence at major industry events like the SEMA Show, where they stay up-to-date with the latest trends and products. With new innovations like dry install PPF and higher gloss finishes, Mike sees the industry continually evolving, and ACI Wraps plans to stay at the forefront of these advancements.

Despite their growth and success, ACI Wraps retains a laidback and friendly atmosphere. “We’re just a bunch of young to middle-aged guys who enjoy what we do. We want to put out a good product and have fun doing it,” Mike says. For him, being able to “put stickers on cars, get paid, and hang out with friends” doesn’t feel like work, but rather, a passion turned profession.

With a unique blend of craftsmanship, customer service, and community involvement, ACI Wraps has positioned itself as a leader in the vehicle customization industry in Connecticut. Whether it’s transforming a Tesla’s look with a chrome wrap or providing high-end detailing for a luxury sports car, ACI Wraps continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in vehicle customization.
