Which TORX bits?

Here's a newbie question for all the experts.

Which TORX bits do I need for tinkering with my 08 MCSC? (My first task is installing a Sirius radio mount under the switch bank.)

Size range?
Bits or drivers or both?
Tamperproof?
Anything else?

Thanks!

I have a set of drivers that covers the 10-30 range. Its worked for nearly everything except seat removal. I have a larger set of bits for big projects.

Do you know what size the seat bolts are?

Looks like I'll buy a small set and a single bit for the seats.

Are the tamperproof bits required?

Seats are T50 (as are the rotor screws, IIRC) I can't remember if I've used the 35 or 40 that came with my set.

Tamperproof is not required.
