My Wish List

Just got a job today at Greyhound, starting there tomorrow morning at 5:30 (i love working early mornings so you have the rest of the day). So with this, i'll have some extra money to buy things for my car.
Here's my current wish list. I update it from time to time when I think of something new to add. The 6 things up top I'm going to do first before anything else, and the others are in no particular order. Am i missing anything? I'm not doing much engine work because it has like 202,000 miles on my D16, so if i were to do engine work i'd swap in another d-series. Plus i have an automatic, and this is my daily driver, so no turbo or anything like that in this car. Any suggestions for my list?
1990 Honda Civic EX 1.6L SOHC Wishlist
Oil Change
Tune-up and Major Maintenance
New Tires
New Brakes
Fix Squeaking Noise from the front right wheel
Use 4-gauge wire and have a better ground
Jumper Starter - http://www.discountave.net/kgki212vjust.html
Exterior Body Work (replace taillights, paint, get rid of rust, etc)
Clear Corners and Black Out Bumper Lights (clear corners look good with black projectors?)
Fix Passenger Side Window Motor (it rolls up slow, should i replace all of the motors at once? or as they go out?)
Dynamat For Trunk (it rattles like a ***** outside when the subs hit)
Tinted Windows (mirror to dark? or just keep it all dark)
Add Decal to windshield (it just says CIVIC, in the type of font used on the tailgate, will get it from stickershop.ca)
Interior Lighting (Cold Cathode Lights from ElWireCheap.com, Blue under all the seats and maybe in the trunk, maybe)
Replace interior carpet (stained, and the car will smell sometimes if you haven't driven it in a while cuz the last owner had a dog)
Projector Headlights - http://216.82.69.117/search_results.asp?txtsearchParamTxt=CRX%20/%20Civic%201990&txtsearchParamCat=ALL&txtsearchParamType=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&iLevel=1&subcat=ALL
H.I.D. Lights (gotta brighten up babeh)
Security System with Remote Options (remote start, entry, etc)
New Wheels (www.tires.com – rage style) and low pro tires
Get Sony CDX-8805X MP3/CD Receiver - $250 - http://www.discountave.net/cdsompre1.html
(this can change, I jus want an MP3 player cuz i hate fiddling with so many regular cds when i'm driving)
Save up for an engine swap

my wishlist is an extended cab ranger with the stock chrome wheels with bags and a system. And then i want to get an EK hatch with a turbo gsr.
About the oil change why not just do it urself, it takes like 5-10 mins.

cuz it costs as much to do it myself as it is to let someone else do it

Costs the same as an having someone do an oil change? jiffy lube charges like 30 bucks for an oil change around here. and i like knowing that some retard working at the local grease monkey wasnt fooling around with my oil filter.

That's cool, but you should really be careful. My friend cheaped out and took his place to get an oil change and his perfectly good obd2 d16 ended up leaking oil until it knocked itself barely making it home. He's got a y8 now and always changes his oil himself...
