Fb tail question

So i did some searching and some looking, but its been a long sad day so forgive me if i missed it. Earlier someone smashed my rear passenger tail, almost looks like parking lot hit n run. Anywho, this incident got me to thinking, and although I'm almost sure it wouldn't work or even look good...

Would S5 tails fit on an fb?
And or, humor me, something like DR30 RS-Turbo skyline tails?

S5 tail lights are a completely differnt shape and the mounting pattern is completely off. the S5 tail lights are so tall that they would rest on the bumper and then protrude above the stock mounting lip. not gonna work.

Make it work. Its fiber glass time. I had this same thought a few months ago but don't have the skills to pull it off. Im sure any body that that has experience on custom work could glass them on.
