There is a "modifier" car for asale at Toy's R Us and Target. It white and hase a huge turbo poking through the hood. However at the Honda/Acura parts center near me there is a 1/18 scale rsx with the accessory wheels in your choice of blue or black. I found mine at a discunt price of $6. The Maker is Maisto.

You can find them on Ebay.

Also, it is NOT 1/18 scale...but 1/24 scale. Do a search for "1/24 RSX" and you'll find a few out there.

Autoart will be making the 1/18 scale RSX sometime in the future. It will be much better in detail and in all aspects, a much better diecast car. But it will cost around $40 compared to the one made by Maisto (which will run around $12)

Lowering Maisto models is easy to do. It's pretty much unscrewing the chassis from the rest of the car and removing the springs that give the car it's springy feel. I've done it to pretty much all my Maisto cars that I have in my collection.

However, if you're serious about collecting, I would wait for the 1/18 scale version from Autoart. It will be a much better model with better detail. Or you could get the 1/43 scale version from Ebbro...surprisngly, they are quite detailed for their little size.

If you're happy with Maisto though, then I vote for getting the black since it will help hide the flaws.
