Well done! A great holiday gift to yourself....

Tires, rear shock mounts inspection/upgrade, coolant, battery, general service related items (oil, filter, grease, etc), brake fluid flush, misc. nuts and bolts tightening are all things you can do over the winter yourself or have done. Also SeaFoam in the fuel tank... maybe 2 cans.... great stuff....
I would guess the knock-off's are going to be.... "Difficult" for lack of a better word and will be your first real maintenance challenge. You'll also need some anti-seize for wheel reassembly.... search CC for varied opinions on this. You'll also need a good lead hammer to start with... bigger is better (Note: they are expendable tools...). I might suggest a section of a dense foam water pipe insulation be put on the wheel-well body lip when wielding the lead hammer on the knockoffs just in case... Nothing says "%$#@*! like taking off a section of fiberglass with the lead hammer. Also get a safety wire and a spinner tool, both available from Harbor Freight for knockoff reassembly.
Mike Stenhouse at Second Strike makes a great manual for the car too....
You can get lots of tips and help here on CC.
