Winter tires for sure (but sooner than xmas).

What else do I need? Leather shift boot maybe, leather wrapped parking brake?
Would like to get some kind of screens like oil guard or whatever those things are called that replace the stock grille(s).

+1 for protective screens. I'd do those before the shift boot or parking brake

I have already bought myself an early X'mas present for this year - a set of satin aluminum fender strakes... MS Spoiler will be for next X'mas, hopefully...

I just can't seem to go more than about a month(at best) before buying something else and even now I have some things on the way(Sways and end links), so I'm sure my girl will be getting something really nice for Christmas. We shall see! SC maybe?

My son is getting me clear corners.
I am going to get myself a set of the oil cooler screens.
Whatever else we have the extra cash for (and I can talk my "banker" into funding!)

Well, I don't have an 8 anymore but I'm Buying a built A4 transmission capable of handling 700whp with a 3600 stall. Also I'm buying a set of Corvette ZR-1 wheels (17x9.5 and 17x11) with Falken 452's in the front and drag radials in the rear.

I'm shooting for 12.3 in the 1/4 after these. Should come pretty easily.
