I never saw a manufactured trunk lid liner in red, however a friend of mine replaced his black lid liner with a red lid liner by using his old(er) Lloyds cargo mat with the C5 logo. He had installed a new sub-woofer in the back and did not want to cover it with the cargo mat. He simply removed the old lid liner and used it as a template when he cut out the red lid liner from the cargo mat.

Check with SOUTHERN CAR PARTS and see if their supplier can produce what you want. Otherwise, a good upholsterer could probably do it in any material you're willing to pay for.

If you make up your own liner you can chose the color you want:

DIY Trunk Lid Liner.

Parts:

A sheet of pegboard - Home Depot $3
A roll of black car carpet from Walmart - $8
Spray Glue - Lowes $4
Fastners – Autozone $4

Tools:

Steel ruler
Staple gun and staples
Drill, sanding disk and cutting disk
Sanding block and sandpaper
Measuring tape

I made a template from some wrapping paper and transferred it to cardboard. I then used the template to cut the pegboard shaping the edges to make it fit the space using a rotary cutting disc. You should trim enough to give a small gap to allow for the thickness of the carpet. Glue the carpet to the pegboard leaving a 2" strip. Fold that over the edges and staple around the edge after priming with the spray on glue. You may wish to fix velcro to the V Channels on the inside of the trunk lid. This will not hold the weight and the studs are essential. It may hold the liner in place a little better but add to the cost.

Mark positions for the studs carefully. Drill holes through the liner into the V Frame. The stud pushes through and fits tightly into the frame behind. There are 2 studs at the top and 2 at the bottom.



Most Important: Be very careful not to press too hard and drill through the trunk lid

The finished item:



The logo was embroidered by my wife. You could buy the commercial GM logo but that would add to the cost.

An enhancement may be to fit some foam blocks at the lower outer corners. This would prevent some minor flexing.
