I went with the turbo lift brand from napa auto parts. Part # 819-4731. I like them too. They open up quick and towards the end it slows down so the trunk doesn't jerk so much.

looks good, mine are still sitting in a box waiting to get done.
It will pop up like that for a while especially if you are wingless and you get the ones for a wing cause they are designed to have more force.
