Mirror but delete original

How can I mirror an extrusion, and delete the original (i.e.be left with just the mirrored part?)

I think this is what JD was talking about.  If you sketch on a work plane (even if it is on the same surface as your model) you can flip normal on the sketch plane when you do your text box and get the text reversed.

 

I've attached a part that shows what I did.

Thanks bcrowell and Niels,

all the solutions are good. It's strange that there isn't a direct possibilities to mirror a single features. I think Autodesk will have to insert a function like this.
What I do with one click, I do with 3 steps.

 

Anyway the problem is solved.

 

Thanks to all guys
