So winter is almost upon us and it's just about time to start "winterizing" the Celica. Just wondering what I should do in terms of preparing it for the brutal winter? Other than winter tires what else is important? Oil change or anything? Should I swap out my carbon fiber hood for the winter or is it not too big of a deal? Thanks!

Hmmm, my only concern is that the carbon fiber would be more susceptible to cracking and shattering in the intense cold. If you still have your metal hood I'd throw it on to be safe.
