Marco,
If you are looking for suggestions on what to do to improve the "look" of your ride, here is what I suggest (some of it being a repeat of things already said):

First off- Guessing by your nickname on these forums, you are 17yo. So many of the stuff you have done to your truck reflect your age. This isnt an insult because we were all 17 and im sure most of us, looking back on the first car we all owned, did many distastefull things to it. I put decals and crap all over my first car, added strange "Autozone" type stuff like funky airfresheners, bling spot mirrors etc etc. Anyways, now I look for very subtle enhancements to cure my car modding addiction.

Here is what I would lose:
1) Any and all stickers and decals (4s emblems, gemballa decals, any non factory placed porsche decals)
2) Any non-porsche issued carbon fiber. I cannot tell from your pictures if the CF trim in your cayenne is OEM porsche equipment or some ebay "dashkit" stiff. If its the ebay type stick-on stuff... take it off.
3) Rear trailer hitch mounted step-bar
4) All interior "stick-on" cell-phone enhancements (I just hate these things, I cant stand a cluttered interior- If I want handfree I use a Bluetooth headset)
5) If you are looking to sell the car- remove the subbox and amplifiers. Usually, and especially on a high-end mark like the Porshce, aftermarket stereo stuff add ZERO resale value.

Things that I like on your car (the subtle stuff)
1) I think most people would agree that the Turbo front ends look much more agressive than the S or standard Cayennes. The turbo front grill is always an improvement.
2) Painted mirrors - Very subtle, most people who are not familar with the cayenne wouldnt notice, but all would agree it looks nice.
3) Tail pipes + rear valence- again the turbo style tips look very nice and add that look of performance
4) Performance mods- Any car guy wants to improve the performance of their cars... by-pass pipes and ECU tune are always good. More exotic things like NOS/ super chargers/ turbos can be damaging and void warranty, but when you do them right, they are great power adders.
5) Love the integrated V-1. Now just figure out a way to hide the main unit and get it off the windshield.

Sorry for being so long winded, but your Cayenne has alot of the tell-tale signs of being a teenagers vehicle, but you are obviously into cars and stiving towards more "classy" and subtle modifications will definatly help improve the look of the cayenne.

Thanks! I feel fortunate to have this bike. When people who don't know what it is ask me about it, I usually say it is like the Ferrari Enzo of bikes. There were less than 200 made and only a very small handful (I heard less than 20) exported to the US. I have some more pictures of details that I will try and post if people are interested...

just curious... with a successful family what are you doing with your life? Not laying around like a trust fund baby I hope. You going to college? What do you want to do? Where do you want to be in 20 years?

And re: Cayenne, are you going to do springs??

Can't wait to see the pictures. Did you also take those club decals off the window? I can't remember what they said.
