I doubt it... but there's a guy on monte carlo forum that makes custom trunk lid panels, maybe he'd be willing to give it a shot. I can point you in his direction if you're interested.

Not free... But really cheap. It was only on the car for a few months, haven't seen it in a while, it was in perfect condition. I thought about cutting it up, but I have the Inferno.
