I faced this problem recently, I had an electric blind and was going to fit it into my ZT but quickly realised that my own parcel shelf didnt have the plastic brackets required to hold the blind.
So I needed to source another shelf so that I could either remove the brackets or just use the shelf as it was, problem was it was sandstone and would not be ideal in the back of a ZT with a completely different interior.
So take one sandstone rear parcel shelf
Source the paint ( read that high temperature paint works ) and thanks to Devilish for donating some black he had lying about
Dont be shy go for it !
Wait for it to dry and refit the sunblind to the shelf, plus test it whilst off ( I also had to cut a hole to take the Harmon Kardon grille )
and finally fitted into the ZT ( and yes the wiring was all present )
