Loving the new car - impression after a week

Finally picked the car up about a week or so ago after it got shipped in from Boston. Really like the color (Carbon Gray Metallic) on the wagon. Hadn't seen it in person except on a sedan. The six speed is great and I'm already averaging 26-27 mpg combined (70% highway/rural 30% city). Not bad since it only has about 300 miles on it and hasn't broken in.
The metal cargo guard and rubber trunk mat have worked very well for the dogs. They seem more comfortable with a solid floor under them rather than the mushy floor in the Astra. Nice not having their noses inches from my ears on long drives too.
Was going to instal the fog light kit this weekend. I have the lights, wire harness, and interior switch. Is there anyone else who has installed these on a 2008- style 9-3? It didn't come with instructions so I was wondering if hooking up the wiring will be fairly apparent when I get the bottom splash guard off and look at it. Also wonder if there is a good way to remove the interior switch w/o scratching the hell out of the dash.
Thanks!
