R33 S1 S2 Garnish

[KJS]

My car is R33 S1, but then I need a rear garnish to replace the crack one.

I found an S2 garnish...but I wonder whether it is the same size as S1 or would it fit?

Personally I like the middle part between the two rear lights being flat smooth though.....instead of plastic black.

Or if it doesn't fit, has anyone try painting the black rear garnish with the same colour as your car?

Or do you think it is possible to get a sheet of stainless steel or whatever flat metal thing to cover that and spray it with paint?

any good idea?

else......I will just get a used S1 garnish...and consider putting it back.

They are the same size.

Personally i like the colour-coded Series 2 garnishes. I want my SKYLINE letters to glow, so i've bought a S1 one, and going to mask letters, etc and paint it white.

How do you mask the letters. Any one here can help

I got this quote from an old thread;

hence your rear garnish is clear , maybe paint it and leave the word skyline clear , and pop some LED's behind there for each letter or so , and run it off the connection of one of you lights . as you would when hooking up an electronic boost controller , that way the lights only turn on when you turn your parkers or headlights on.

I got a clear garnish and the question is how do you paint the rear garnish and keep the skyline word clear. That's a very hard thing to do. I can't even make the skyline word straight from masking tape. How does anyone do it? Please help here

I havent done mine yet, but i did my brake calipers with masking tape and a sharp knife. The garnish should be the same, because the letters are raised. mask the letters, and use a sharp stanley/surgical knife to trim masking tape.
