C350 Tuner Advice PLEASE
Thanks for any advice.
I have a 2008 C350 with 197,873 miles as she sits and I LOVE THIS CAR! I am at the point where I only drive her for fun so I want to start making modifications to make her faster, corner better, and look sleeker. Unfortunately, I have no clue where to begin but here are my initial thoughts.
1.) Put in a chip - but who's?
2.) Original shocks still there, what do I replace them with? I don't mind lowering her a tad either.
3.) Original exhaust still there, what do I replace it with? *Not too offensively loud, but definitely want throaty.
4.) Can I put a CAI on this? Do I want to??
5.) BRAKES! * Colored Calipers!
Also looking for exterior mods. She is White, and I'm probably gonna vinyl the roof top. But what else are people doing to make their ride look sleek?
Again, thank for input and advice.

1) Eurocharged, but don't expect amazing gains.
2) Haven't heard of anybody using aftermarket shocks, just the occasional H&R lowering springs.
3) A custom Magnaflow exhaust, or you could wait a few weeks, because Megan Racing is supposed to release a couple exhausts.
4) You can, but most advise against it because of heat soak and a possible loss of HP.
5) Go for it.
I'm interested in hearing the history of a 2008 C350 with almost 200K miles!
