I got mine off of ebay at a very good price. I'll go and try to find the guy I bought it from and get back with you. 
Rawz06pwr was the outfit on the bidding site but just look him up and he's out of everything.
Sorry, GG

Not sure if you're into DIY but I made a single piece liner for mine. You could use the same procedure for a 3 piece liner. The compromise is between having a solid liner (heavy) or a lighter liner which may stick on with velcro.
Here's the How To in case its any use to you.
DIY Trunk Lid Liner.
I'd been seeing the trunk lid liners on some of the members Vettes but the $150 price tag seemed a bit steep. I had a bit of a DIY morning and made one up myself
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.

Nice mod. When I did mine I noticed the extra weight didn't allow the trunk lid to pop-up alot so I added the spring thing which took care of the issue. Good luck with your mod.
