I am glad you like the RX. Lots or research and development over the past 1.5yrs to get it the way it is. Oh and omg lots of $$.
I did update my post with some interior "pics" as you requested. I am getting in about $5K in DAD interior stuff so the interior will change VERY soon form good to I can't even say.

How's the gym coming along kid? Have you kept up with the diet?

Wouldn't say that my 92 LS stands up to some of the others here, but is simple and unique. STILL a work in progress, comes as the money does. Hope you like,, I DEF need some new pics as well as some high quality ones 
,,
MODS:
Exterior:
Pretty much bone stock with a few minor touches thrown in to set her apart from the others.
a. Monotone black paint job (gave it to her as a sweet 16)
b. Imported in some JDM one piece design headlights
c. JDM clear turn signals in the bumper
d. Junction Produce "eyelids"
e. Turn signal mirror covers (fit over existing stock mirrors)
f. 20% tint on the windows
g. Mesh Grill with Blacked out surround (came from Erebuni kit). Hated the
kit, but thought I could get the grill to not look too bad.
h. Junction produce "Fusa X-edition"(pretty rare here) fusa in window.
Suspension:
a. Lowered on H&R springs (wanted a small drop with roads here in MD)
b. KYB-GR2 shocks all around
C. Polyurethane bushings in the rear
d. Daizen bushing kit for front end as well as steering rack.
Wheels:
Not even gonna front here. Not a high quality wheel but has stood the test of time over what I paid for them (not much)
18X 8.5 Panther 404C with random Lexus "L" to flow with my look.
235/40/18(front)/// 245/40/18(rear) Kumho Ecsta ASX tires
Interior:
Bone stock. Like I stated,,, STILL a work in progress.
5 1/4" Alpine speakers in the doors (stock size is 4",,modded stock baffle to fit)
12" MTX Sledgehammer subs and MTX Thunder series box (in truck,,nothing special)
600 watt Bazooka amp and 1.2 Farad capacitor
Optima Yellow Top (under the hood)
Future mods:
a. NEW WHEELS,,,,,def a must for next year sometime
b. Exhaust needs to be redone,, little loud at the moment.
c. New Headunit,,still have the stock one,, is getting tired now. LOL!
Pretty much just gonna do a complete audio re-do.
D. Kicking around the thought of a custom Air setup (not sure yet)
e. Complete interior re-do
f. still kicking around the idea of doing a 1J or a 2J setup under the hood.
g. Still have a few more bushings to replace (driveshaft, differential, etc.)
h. Custom LED mods to the front (headlights, sidemarkers,,still plotting)
I. HID's are DEF in order
J. Spacers for the rear wheels,,,until I can get the new set.
I bought this car in 05, and being a trucker, only have time to ride/mod/enjoy it on the weekends only (hence the long build time). I bought it @ 154K miles and she currently is sitting @ 177K. She REALLY was not in the best of shape when I got her, but has been making a slow recovery, based on my pockets. Just went thru ALOT of maintenence work this past summer (Engine replaced, new ball joints,t-belt, plugs, wires, etc), so got to focus on keeping her running b4 I can re-focus on her styling. LOT of what I have put into her has been in the way of maintenance items, from having been neglected for so long. Has been a labor of love, and ALOT of frustration, but the one thing I DO know is that she STILL turns heads.

Sweet man!! I know how it is. I have a buddy that has an RX as well with the same kit and it was a mission for us to get the kit. Took about 6 months to just receive the front and another 2 for the remaining kit.
