Eckler's sells the complete strut in chrome, but as usual with their unique chrome products, is showing out of stock until December.

Other people have used the hood strut covers, and cut them to length to fit the trunk struts.

The covers are simply a tube. The trunk strut is shorter than the hood strut. So get a set of the hood strut covers, cut them to the correct length, slip them on the trunk struts, and viola. Chrome trunk strut covers.
