SEMA preview: CGS Ford ReFlex

Customers may not be flocking to Ford dealerships to snatch up the automaker’s all-new Flex crossover, but we don’t think CGS Motorsports will have much trouble drawing a crowd at next month’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas with the company’s customized 2009 Ford Flex.

Best known for its cat-back exhaust systems and air intake systems, CGS has been creating one-off SEMA customs — particularly the Big 3 – over the last several years. This year’s entrant into the SEMA how is the company’s custom Ford Flex, appropriately dubbed the ReFlex.

Using a 2009 Ford Flex as a starting point, CGS handed the project over to Sean Smith of SS Designs. Smith then dressed the Flex up with custom paint by DuPont, a one-off body kit and unique 22 inch wheels.

The interior features plenty of leather and suede trimmings, a Kicker sound system and a navigation system by Clarion.

No word on any mods under the hood, but we’d put our money on at least a new exhaust and intake system. Check back for more details and live shots after the ReFlex makes its Vegas debut next month.

    Why would anyone want a custom Ford Flex? Seems like an odd choice to me. 🤔
