I'd start with the mods that help winter performance...

Partial grille block

Engine block / coolant heater

Synthetic lubricants

Keep an eye on tire pressure as ambient temps fall

Got a ScanGauge or MPGuino?

You'd definitely benefit from a Kammback and any other aero mods you're willing to slap on there since you're going to be using it mostly on the highway.
