Any DIY mods I can do for my '11 C300?

I bought a 2011 C300 Sport and would like to do some budget, "bolt-on",
Do-it-yourself type of modifications in order to achieve more HP, better acceleration but am also open to cosmetic mods as well. I have already replaced the factory air filters to K&Ns so hopefully I got a few extra HP out of that addition...I possibly feel a little bit of a throttle-response increase but could be my imagination or wishful thinking. Any suggestions?
Thanks and much appreciated!

C63 P31 Coupe 13'
I like how you want to add more Hp to the car and spend all your money on it, but instead, is there any possibility for you to buy c63? even if it was 2011? its better than wasting money on modifications i guess. The c class threads is no longer active. The c63 amy ones is more active maybe you can have help there..

C63

Do you know an approximate price for a low-milage, partially loaded, 2011 or newer C63?...No AMG or anything special, just a base as an on-going project.
