How about a quickie duct-tape and coroplast test of the green line? You could add some vertical supports underneath the outer edges down to the bumper bulge. That and the curvature of the trunk should make it stiff enough.

EDIT: Aerohead beat me to the post but I think we had the same idea about the side pieces. He said it much more eloquently.
