There are a ton of them on the internet. Just google them. They don't have to be GM to be good.
I paid around $20 for the set. and they are easy to install.
Just pop the old ones off and pop the new ones on.
Good luck!

After swapping mine, lubricating the hinges and latch returned the pop up function to make the trunk easy to open again. May as well lubricate all of the hinges and latches while your at it. The doors, hood and center console sure like the attention also.

If I'm not mistaken the references made here are for the Z06 and vert. The Coupe struts are different.
