To Road Vehicles PAs

Sorry if this has been requested before, I couldn't find a post related to this.
To those of you who create road vehicles of all kinds (including past, present and future vehicles), can you please, please, please (desperation showing here) create right-hand drive vehicles? The foot pedals are in the same order regardless of which side they are on, and the dash instruments can stay the same as well. But, being an Australian, left-drive vehicles are of no use to me and it's frustrating to not be able to do interior shots because of those details.

Well, except for a few vehicles that get imported here in the US, or older specialty vehicles (a variant of our Jeep was like that), right hand drive stuff is hard to visualize for some of us.
There are a number of vehicles where you can have either left hand or right hand drive. Here are a few:

Add a "-" sign in front of the X or Z scale slider Number (usually 100%). This will reverse things for you.
Of course, it will reverse some of the lettering (Police) or license plate numbers also..
and if you want to do interior shots it will surely also reverse the pedals. But that is the way I do it, it is super easy in Bryce, we even have a button especially to reverse orientation.
It would be a bit of work depending on how the dash and foot area is designed, and not completely accurate if you are trying to model a specific vehicle, but you might be able to do a combination of setting the parameter to -100% and hiding the pedals. Then create a a second copy of the vehicle on which all surfaces BUT the pedals are hidden, and position it overlapping the first so the pedals are roughly in the right spot.
Hi guys, thank you for your responses. My apologies for the delay but I'm in recovery mode after surgery and I've only recently gotten back to my computer and my time online is still limited.
Charlie Judge: thank you for those links, I'll check them out when I can.
Petercat and Chohole: for me, reversal is not an option. I hate seeing reversed text in movies and photos that I can't bring myself to do it with my work lol.
daywalker03 and sriesch: based on what I was asking, specifics aren't necessary, nor is imagining what it should be. What was on the left of the created vehicle just needs to go on the right regardless of instruments order. Foot pedals are in the same order regardless of left or right side of the vehicle and the instruments can stay the same or the model creator can do a bit of research to see if there are changes. In reality, there doesn't need to be such changes.
I just want right-hand drive vehicles for my Australian based renders. I am not a model maker but am more than happy to buy from those who do make them.
