Another option would be to adapt a left side dash panel to replace the right side one. Added bonus is you get an auxiliary fuse panel for aux lights, radio or sound equipment, and other loads.

I thought of doing something similar, it does look cool. I just wanted to retain my original dash while gaining some functionality. I've also seen people who split the instrument placement left and right. It looks nice too.
