I'm not sure about the hand rest part, but I have never seen another NAV bezel with the lip on top. I didn't know you could even flip the outer bezel around.

Might have to look at mine and see if it's even possible

I went out to the car today and I wanted to see if I could flip the NAV bezel around so the lip was on top. Nope, can't be done, well, not easily anyway.

First thing, there's a lip under the chrome trim that's part of the plastic dash, I suppose it could be removed with a small Dremel tool.

Second, the tabs on the chrome trim don't line up with the holes in the dash when you flip it upside down. You would have to grind those off as well.

So the idea of flipping the chrome trim won't work very easily
