Is that too many exercises per any one day?  Please give me suggestions on improvements, additions, or any other modifications.

looks good to me buddy.
looks pretty close to my routine except for your bicep day.
So all in all it looks good.

how experienced are you at lifting or how long have you been seriously lifting?

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

Chest
you could probably drop flies
 
Tris
pushdowns and kickbacks are nearly the same exercise cause they hit the tricep from the same angle.  Drop one of them
 
Back
upright rows are for your shoulders although they do work the traps.  drop either the close grip pull downs or the pull ups.  work your traps on a day with not much going on like shoulder day.  9 exercises in one day is a bit much dropping the previous mentioned 3 would be a good idea. 
 
Bis
looks ok
 
Legs
drop the leg curls and add stiff leg deadlift.  drop the extensions and add lunges. 
 
Shoulders
drop the front raises since you are doing arnolds which hit the front delt pretty hard.  add your shrugs here.  although arnolds are great, overhead bb presses and dumbell presses will add more mass to your shoulders, add one.   
 
 
 

i would suggest you do flatbench first,  then decline/incline etc.

also.. instead of machine flies, if you MUST do them... why not with free-weights?



my last suggestion is to swap out lat pulldowns for pullups.

no incline first is fine considering the upper chest is the hardest to build. 
 
you should never have one exercise be first forever.  switching between incline and flat first will help when hitting a wall.
 
i have done declines first but not to often since my lower chest builds up to quick. 
 
but with all that said, if this is your first time training, then yes i would suggest starting off with flat first for a while.

when i first started, upper chest was easy for me to build.
 
it was the lower chest that gave me the most trouble

dmobley, I'm 24 right now and i started weight lifting sophomore year of high school, about 3 months before i turned 16.  So i like to say that I'm fairly experienced in weight lifting.

as far as seriously lifting.  That one year in high school when I had weight lifting class.  Then after that it was on and off.

thanks xmax and silverfox.  Haven't been able to work out for several weeks now but plan on hitting the gym tomorrow

So with your suggestions, i've modified my 5 day split.  Any other corrections i need to make?

        Deadlift should be first on back day. On Monday rotate the order of flat decline and incline weekly and use dumbbells for one or two each week. You want pullups not latdowns or pullups... just pullups. I personally like to do pullups last but they are fine right after dadlift.
       After squats and deadlifts lungesmight be too much but once again thats a personal thing. and you don't need to do 3 ab exercises just 2 will be fine.
       Replace the machine rear delts, and use dumbbells. and change the order for shoulder day to this, and you don't need to do 2 presses on shoulder day.
-Arnolds(i prefer military press)
-upright rows
-shrugs(switch from bb to dumbbells once in a while)
-lateral flies
-bent laterals

If it wasn't painfully difficult then you didn't do it right

Sunday (Cardio)
-         High Intensity Interval Training
 
Monday ( Chest + Triceps 3x12,10,8)
-         Incline Benchpress   I would maybe alternate flat/incline
-         Flat benchpress
-         Decline Benchpress or Dips  I perfer dips
-         Skullcrushers
-         Tri push downs (or kickbacks)
 
Tuesday (Backs and Biceps 3x12,10,8)
-         Lat Pull downs (or pull ups)  Pullups
-         Deadlift    put first
-         Bent over BB 
-         Seated Cable Row
-         Close Grip BB Curls
-         Hammer Curls
 
Wed (Cardio)
-         High Intensity Interval Training  It's somtimes good to add variety to this too.  you will adapt to this faster than you would to weight training.
 
Thursday (Legs and Abs 3x12,10,8)  looks great! 
-         Squats
-         Stiff left dead lift  stiff leg deadlift
-         Lunges
-         Standing Calf Raises
-         Crunches
-         Incline Leg Raises
-         Vertical Leg Raises
 
Friday (Shoulders 3x12, 10, 8)  seems like a lot for such a small muscle but you will know what is to much.
-         Arnolds  maybe alternate with OH Press?
-         Machine Rear Deltoid Fly  Hate the word machine!
-         Dumbell Lateral Flies
-         BB upright Row (this hits traps and a bit of the shoulders)
-         DB Shrugs
-         Overhead BB press or Dumbell press  See above on arnolds.  if you do both i would move this to #1 excersise.

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

oh shxt never mind
