Nice list!

One recommendation though, ditch the nightshades idea. The stuff is hard to work with/get even, and even if you do it's not glossy, and if you clear coat... well...
Point is, if you take them to a shop that's used to smoking lenses with reduced black and clear coat, the results will be much much better, and very professional looking.
Trust me, I've seen both in person, and even when the VHT is done right, it still doesn't look nearly as good.

But yeah, sounds like you have a great summer ahead of you!
In for updates!

Thanks man, I cant wait to start as soon as I finish my last exam!

I actually got a quote to get the taillights professionally tinted, $200 :S

I cant really afford that for taillights atm, so I was going to give the Niteshades another go. First time I tried they didnt come out very well (to be generous) Im not sure why they faded so much. When I finished they were pure black and now they are more of a candy red. A very blotch and flat candy red haha. Now that I have some experience, hopefully they will come out better. Plus I am going to use a painting table rather than my garage floow, which is full of dog hair and dust :P

^$200 is a little high.
I'd expect around half that.

Just use some tint on the tails - it is easily reversible
