Where do you live? That will help us direct you to a performance shop in your area, but basically the most cost effective and easy thing to do is the have your ECU (Engine Computer Unit) either reflashed or replaced with a high performance one, if you're willing to bust out the big bucks you could get a turbo or two or even a super charger, my favorite being the super charger because of its relative low price. You could also look into intake and exhaust modifications or a whole new intake and exhaust system which should serve you nicely

Simple mods are:
Underdrive Pulleys - Evosport - They work.
Chip for the ECU - Powerchip - It works.
Headers Maybe - Evosport - I have no experiance
Springs and Shocks - Many Look at TireTrack or Evosport or the Forums. Some combos ride quite hard and have agressive drops so look at the drop befor you buy.
Various cosmetic changes simple things links Headlight Rings and replacement Shift Knobs make quite a difference see formymercedes.com he is good. There are many others on the WEB a little bit of searching will find many, of course there is Ebay.

My favorite uprades are pulleys and suspension.
