Man your like my GF. She ended up surprising me with an Asuka Type I hood. I was originally gonna get it but I had been waiting till I had some extra cash and On my Bday it was sitting in my garage.
She knew I wanted it because I had talked about it. Maybe you should ask him what else he plans on doing to his car and then you'd have a shopping list.
As far as tinting tails, you can get overlays or get them sprayed and tinted with a clear coat over, probably the best for tinting tails, but if he doesn't want something permanent then go with overlays.

Most paint shops can spray them. I'm having my reflectors done at a local paint shop. I agree with the earlier comments about guys being very particular about the car. You don't want to go get this done, and then him be unhappy. Here's my suggestion:
1. Call a few paint shops and get some quotes. Make sure this will fit your budget.
2. If it does, make your own custom "gift certificate" to give to him that states that he can get his lights tinted at no expense to him. (you can type it up on the computer and print it out or maybe create something with construction paper, markers, etc.)
3. Put it in a card and give it to him.
4. When he gets the work done, you pay the shop.
This way,
-You get him what he wants and he gets to make sure it's done how he wants it
-It shows the effort you put in to not only finding the gift, but its presentation
I would love my g/f forever if she did this for me.
Just my 2cents. Hope it helps!

Every time a girlfriend posts for help...the thread lasts like 3 years and 458 posts, so OP (girlfriend) wait a few days and then come back to thread and read the posts-a-plentiful. Since you are a chick and a hell of a good one to be doing this for your bf, the guys here will offer you sincere help and options not just on the tinting, but maybe that money towards something that he might like better.
My opinion, if he has yet to do any engine upgrades, get him the Jim Wolf Technology "Popcharger". It is only like $100 and a proven power getter and one of the best performing (and cheapest) mods available to us Z owners, and it makes the engine sound AMAZING on WOT.
Just a thought...otherwise go to the 'marketplace' on the forums and then to 'Inventors' section, and you will see a thread by "BlueBatMobile". He offers cheap ($ wise) overlays for almost anything you can tint on the Z.
G/L, and god bless you sweetheart for giving the gift of Z toys.

wow i didnt read much through here, but do not do the yourself kits, just take it and have it done professionally or get him a gift card somewhere to have it done or somethin like that..pay somewhere to do it right
tinted lights are gaaaayyyy....and if my girlfriend surprised me with a do it yourself tint kit i would bust out laughing all the way when she would be taking it back...no no..ghetto
you should try getting into a conversation with him about his car and what his plans are for it but dont make it too obvious if you wanna surprise him...my gf did that but she wasnt able to surprise me I knew what was coming lol im thankful though 
wonderful girl

Wouldn't recommend tinting lights as a gift as I believe the best results come from DIY opening them up and doing it from the inside.
What does he have done to his car, and what is the budget to spend? These two bits of information could make this b-day ranging from semi satisfied to "OMGWTFBBQ in my pants".
