Question Blown shock tower... options?

I found out one of the rear shocks blew while the car was garaged and getting work done. Unfortunately I'm a bit on a budget and need something to get by for awhile especially considering the car doesn't get driven very much. So far I found one owner selling front and rear shocks off a '12 NISMO with low miles, which I think I can get a few years out of it. From Courtesy Parts, it looks like the parts are the same.

So before I go out buying stuff I want to make sure it'll fit and I'm able to get stuff swapped. Also, do I need to remove the plastic trim in the hatch to get to the shock tower?

Other options welcome besides spending $1k on a new aftermarket set... or leave it alone for now. It's still drivable, and I've not notice anything detrimental. I'm just afraid of the wheel bouncing at freeway speeds.

Thanks.
