Has anyone tried to do this? If you just flip autostart button do you think it would fit?

Don't know, but would you fit one upside down?

Some shop could probably do it for you, just gotta rewire it im assuming

See my post above: You don't mind the words & letters on the button turned upside down?

It would only be the auto button thats upside doen. Start /stop could just be rotated. Either way, what do u think? I like the metal alot

For anyone who actually likes the aluminum finish, I just found this -

That looks more promising

Certainly more cost effective.

I understood, I just meant that he would need to completely replace the housing and possibly resize the hole of the whole housing. I absolutely would mind the letters on the button being upside down lol, i'd lose my mind looking at it lol

I would probably go the extra mile and replace the whole housing for it, I'm not sure that the button would fit into our housing + click into place as simply as we'd want. + part of the sleekness to me is that both buttons + the housing have the aluminum housing but its worth a shot, if it doesn't work just return the button
