Re: way long shot question here
Not likely. However, the symmetric nature of the car and it's dashboard make me think it'd be one of the simplest hack-n-glue flip jobs ever. Just move over the speedo...

Maisto has a 1/24 Scion xB slated for sometime next year. Maisto models are good sources for LHD dashboards for S2000's, WRX's, and soon the xB.
If there ever was an easy dash to convert, it would be one like the bB, it has central gauges. It shouldn't be difficult at all w/a little planning, a dremel, sheet plastic, and putty/superglue. I looked at mine, and it's fairly symmetrical, and the only shape changes can be accomplished w/pieces of styrene, w/o having to create any molded shapes. Even if the finished dash isn't 100% factory, having the steering wheel in the LHD position will hide any potential rough edges.
