You can customize some sort of prop rod, like your hood has. shouldn't be real hard. I would suggest getting one off of a civic the real short ones. Make some kind of mounting bracket and make a grove in your trunk lid.

And by the way I hope you know what you are doing if you take out those trunk torsion bars. If you don't you are going to get a broken finger or hand or whatever they hit.
You need to exercise extreme caution while taking those out.
I have done many and the best way I have found is to get a big pair of vise-grips and clamp them very tight, while you take one side out of it's notch. The vise-grips will help you control them better with less strength. Make sure Make sure that the vise grips are clamped as tight as you can though, that will reduce the chance of those bars slipping out.

I don't mean to make a big deal about this, I just don't want you to get hurt.
