Go to ebay and buy some cheap *** trunk hydraulics for about $15 a piece. They'll work just fine if you put them on right.

i got mine from a local guy that has a gas spring distribution/rebuilding business...

the guy not only carried a large variety of lengths, strokes, and spring forces, he was also able to revalve the gas springs for customers...

if you want a trunk lid that opens smoothly, get some strong gas springs revalved w/ EXTRA damping so that it doesn't fly open
