Sorry, don't have a photo as I was always missing the prop rod. However, I went to the wrecker and got an assortment of used (weakened) gas lift cylinders and mounting pins and brackets and then spent an afternoon fooling around - I now have a gas lift between the trunk hinge and floor so that once I unlock the trunk and lift the lid about 2", it opens the rest of the way by itself and then stays open. Very cool, if I say so myself. (I also have the spoiler, and was getting way tired of the trunk lid trying to amputate my hand.)
