Question about STB *update with pictures*

Will the JDM STB for the 1st gen GS fit a 2nd gen GS? I kinda remember reading in one of the classifieds that it would, but I could be very wrong. Any input?

Bought my bar on ebay and was inspired to follow in oohpapi44 footsteps. I used a scotchbrite pad and some brake cleaner to get all the grease off the bar and end caps. After cleaning, I painted the end caps white w/ clearcoat to match the car and used mothers metal polish to get the bar shiney. I think it cam out pretty well. Please forgive the crappy cam phone pics.
