Sorry to be contrary but I think you should just drive the car first and enjoy it before you make any plans to make changes. This is an amazing car as is. I have spent a lot of money over the years on options and additions in cars that I never used....

thanks for the advice but i think 08 comes with euro marker lamps already.
as for exhaust... do anyone know any company who make an exhaust for V6? i did a couple of search but it only shows CS or CTT...

08 does NOT come with euro marker lamps. V6 cayennes does NOT have an exhaust option if my memory serves me right. And I think you should wait before you mod your car. An ECU upgrade may be a good chance for you, unfortunately, there isn't one yet for 08 cayenne.

Congrats on your new Pepper! If my eyes do not deceive me... it is coming with 18" wheels???? and they charged you a premium for that???

First thing I'd do is lose the 18's and put on 20's, maybe some reproduction 20" Techno wheels- or I happen to have set of 20" turbo wheels / tires for sale and can give you a good price. Tires are like new. You'll feel a more performance-orented ride but it is not hard, and the 20's just look so much nicer in those massive wheel wells.

Put snow / all season tires on the 18's and keep them for winter wheels. 18's?? I didn't know that was still an available option! I double-cant believe they charged a $1300 option price increase...
