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!

If its decent quality I wouldn't worry about it at all, think about all them cars out their mainly made of CF that do just fine.
