Need info on EVO model cars

Hi Guys,

I'm interested in getting a nice die cast of plastic model or models of the EVO VIII. I have the silver MR, so I want a silver model. Can anybody help me find a nice silver model car of the EVO VIII?
I've searched the web and cannot find anything I like. There are several models of the other colors but no silver ... I found one silver car but it's some kind of a ricer's dream car .. I don' want that....
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

I've purchased 1/36 scale diecast Evo VIIIs in all six colors off of eBay. They are made by Kinsmart. I also have a 1/18 scale diecast made by the same company, also purchased from eBay. It's red, though. I don't know if they ever made a silver one.

As for model kits, Fujimi makes a 1/24 scale Evo VIII kit. Tamiya and Hasegawa have kits of earlier generations Evos. You can purchase them from www.greatmodels.com.

I found one silver car but it's some kind of a ricer's dream car

Are you reffering to the Jada Toys 1:18 scale model? I have that one it's not that bad.

Not sure, but I think It's a 1/18 scale model... This one is covered with TEIN stickers, body kit, and even subwoofers in the trunk http://www.idcow.com/jd2015.html

I have not seen the real thing but the pictures in the ads look pretty pathetic. Those other die cast models in black, red and yellow look pretty awesome. too bad I cannot find one in silver...

I want a 1:18 or so die-cast scale model of the Evo IX, bone stock, but I have yet to find one. I'll keep looking.
