Question for LHD RX8's

Ok, I'm a distributor for floormats (among other things) in the USA, and I have a customer with an imported Right Hand Drive RX-8. He would like some diamond plate floormats with a laser cut "RX-8" logo in them, but since our mats are fitted for the Left Hand Drive cars, I am not sure if simply moving the logo to the opposite side will be enough to fit his car. Since the customer is in another state, it isn' feasible for me to simply look at his car, and he is currently on a business trip, and unable to check the car himself.

Below is an image of the floormats, If someone could do me a huge favor and describe all if any differences you think could be easily changed to fit a RHD RX-8 I would be very appreciative. If the mats simply need to to flipped over and the logo cut on the opposite side they are currently on, that would be wonderful news.

It will not be as simple as reversing the mats.
Although all the controls are swapped over on a RHD model the 'intrusion' into the cabin of the centre tunnel (gearbox ???) remains the same. So the basic layout of the mats will actually remain the same. Only the detail at the toe end to allow for the pedals will change.

Japan parts show a drivers side mat for a RHD model here:
