Mazda is placing a strong focus on the CX-5, the first of its new-age models and thus has brought not one or two, but three custom incarnations of the vehicle to the SEMA show.
We shall start with the CX-5 180, which somehow stays close to the stock car that Mazda usually presents in terms of general appearance, as it uses a blue exterior.

However, this is where the resemblance stops, as the 180's body displays a topographical map of the Big Bear Lake and Point Dume in Southern California. In addition to that, some of the details, such as the front grille surround, are finished in red. The same color was used for the brake calipers, which can be clearly seen through the spokes of the 20-inch wheels that use Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber.

Opening the door, we find an Aqua Blue leather finish that comes with contrasting whit accents and can be found on the seats, door panels and steering wheels.

In case the girl behind the wheel looks familiar, this is because she also had the pleasure to sit in the SEMA-displayed Mazda MX-5 Super25 Concept.

As for the other two developments, the CX-5 Dempsey and the CX-5 Urban, you can see them here and here, respectively.
