How far does your trunk lid open when using the key fob?

I recently had my trunk lid fixed at a local body shop. Prior to getting fixed, the trunk would open completely when using the trunk release on the key fob. Now, it just opens a couple inches, and I have to move the trunk lid up manually. I'm curious what is "normal" for our car; feel free to respond to the poll and/or add a response with your personal experiences.

my00 (with 12k miles) opens about 2 inches, about 10 to 15degrees id say. I think this is normal

Do you have spoiler springs on a standard trunk? I have a spoiler on standard springs and it just raises up 1/2".

Mine pops up about 2 - 4 inches. I have an OEM AP1 decklid spoiler with the OEM replacement springs (for the spoiler installed to counter the weight of the spoiler).
