Does 370Z engine cover fit on G37s?

Going for the JDM look, wondering if anyone had their engine cover replaced with a 370Z one and if its a direct replacement w/o mod. Thanks in advance, appreciated.

From what it looks like, it seems that it will fit. But that ridge where the STB on the Z goes will make it look awkward on the G.

OR...

You can keep your engine cover, remove your Fuji emblem, fill in the Fuji indentation with bondo or something and put a Nissan emblem on it.

It’s what I call “under-badging.” I don’t get it either.
