Vert tails on Coupe?

OK, so I have an S4 coupe and a spare S5 'vert tail and centerpeice. I had planned on buying the other side of vert tail and installing a battery cut-off switch (for a relocated battery, NHRA rules) in the key hole spot on the 'vert centerpiece.

1) Does this require minor bending like S5 coupe tails on an S4? I've looked them over closely, and they don't look like it.

2) They do share the same bolt hole locations... right?

it does require some bending. But being vert tails onto a coupe requires more extensive modding also. But the bolt holes line up. Shouldn't be a hard job. Line it up, and see where it hits. Then do your work! Good luck

So why not just try to fit them? Any problems should be immediately obvious.
