Having a diecast model made?

I've been noticing that alot of people have exact replicas of their cars at car shows, and can't seem to find a company that will make one.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
This all started because I tried to find one of my car...2001 Dodge Stratus R/T and it doesn't look like any have been made.
I'm a member of www.2GStratus.org and we've talked about having some made. We have over 3000 members, and there's good interest in buying diecast models of our cars.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

well whenever i've been to those shows and see the diecast replica they usually just take the diecast of the car and paint it the same color/scheme and do the wheels and such. i don't think they make a diecast of a stratus though. i think they might have some body shop person paint the car to the color they want or something unless if they do it themselves.

To get a company to make a replica of your car it will cost $100,000+. I had been working with another diecast company discussing some development of future cars, but the cost was so immense they needed to be cars that would sell really well.

i was also thinking of one made for a chevy malibu but then i thought about how much it would cost so then i just gave up on the dream

Thanks for the replies guys!
But gee, $100,000+ that was unexpected.
I guess I'll just have to do without one.
