Besides some snow tires and BBS rims, not much for me. Post some pics of what you got.

A new license plate frame but I don't think the car likes it.

I got mine a car wash. Been a brutal December here with a lot of snow. Roads have been wet and salty pretty much all month and the car looked like it had a salt paint job. I couldn't stand it any longer and got one yesterday even though it snowed again last night. I swear it appreciated it and seemed to drive better. Merry Christmas to all!

New air compressor, ramps, creeper, and a tv for the garage! I know where I am spending the winter. Oh yes and a bottle of 30 year old single malt for when the projects are finished.

In my case - a good wash and wax to come... for the last month I no sooner think of washing the car than rain or a storm arrives sigh... usually I keep my baby Jag so clean and shiny (most Sunday mornings washing and polishing before out and about) but currently it just looks sooo filthy, sigh :-(

Mine got some replacement body panels after it was hit a couple weeks ago. It also had a couple rear bumper scratches repaired from when someone else scraped it, the front license plate bracket removed, and the front bumper repainted.

Apparently that wasn't good enough for it, as it started misfiring yesterday. Now it's getting a new coil pack, 6 new spark plugs, and the corresponding gaskets...
