I think someone else is working on getting the RHD bezzel 3D scanned to create a mirrored copy. I've been inquiring as well and the first local company came back at $650 just for the scan. Got a few more quotes pending but doubt I'll have the spare time or cash to start this any time soon.
I may try to find a plastic mold company and at least get a ballpark idea of price to have a LHD mold made but again my totally uneducated guess is that this would be extremely cost prohibitive. I'm definitely willing to pay in the hundreds of dollars if a pretty much perfect LHD flipped part can be made but if it's getting into thousands that doesn't seem worth it and I'd probably just go with having a custom one-off piece made with something like carbon fiber or just plain fiberglass at that point. Obviously wouldn't look as factory has a plastic piece with the Honda texturing but still better than a non-fitting RHD bezel.

It would take a few people committed to a LHD bezel to bring the cost per unit (ideally to <$75/bezel). I'm not super savvy with 3D scanning/printing so we would need some guidance from someone that is. Until then, I'll just continue asking around and kicking some tires.

Maybe this month I'll get around to having that local 3D shop scan it and try reshaping with a heat gun but as I think several of us have mentioned now I'm 99% sure the RHD bezel can't simply be heat-gunned into looking correct even if it is contorted enough to fit more or less flush against the dashboard surface because the front area is wider on one side than the other.
