A couple more notes, since you are a new Viggen owner: Definitely buy some of the heavy clear stick-on plastic for your fog lights. I think I've gotten it from Griot's Garage before. Both of my fogs have now broken after some winter driving, thanks to flying stones or such, and I'm facing a $300 bill to replace them.
Also, since it's really cold now, I've noticed that the MP steering rack brace gets a bit loose when the temp is below freezing. The rack moves visibly when I have a friend turn the steering wheel side to side, and I hear a clunking inside the car as the rack moves about, so there is a slight thermal expansion issue. The clunk goes away when the car warms up. Unfortunately, I don't know whether the car torque-steers before it warms up, since I don't push the engine until it is warmed up. Let's just say I haven't noticed any tendency toward torque steer while the brace is loose. BTW, I have the version of the brace with the thin rubber inserts to help prevent noises...The brace has about 30k miles on it now, all in the last year.
