i use bungy cords to slow it down... another method is to remove on of the stress bars right below the dome light in ur trunk. .. their long thin rods, just remove one

and make sure u use any means to slow ur trunk down b/c when it flies open and comes to a sudden stop it might cause cracks in the clearcoat

i have the VIS trunk and removed one of the tention bars. when i pop the trunk it comes up half way, very nice and easy. You have to do this, i forgot about the lightness and popped the trunk and it sounds horrible. i thought my trunk was going to crack!!!
