Mom clipped your wings for good reason. Learn to live with a differently-purposed vehicle. Your RX is not, nor will it ever be a sports car, no matter what you spend on modifications. You can make it loud, rough-riding, and ugly, but it will not get significantly faster short of a big-block transplant. Get too heavy handed with forced induction or spray, and that expensive V6 engine becomes a coffee table. That's one good reason very few serious aftermarket mods are available for it.
While the AWD version is capable of soft-roading adventures beyond where the pavement ends, it's no rock crawler either. It will take you places you couldn't go in your Civic, and will do so in all kinds of weather conditions. Lowering it will seriously limit the off-road capability, but considering it's not exactly Rubicon-ready anyway, for you that might not be too great a loss - if you are careful.
Why not build on the qualities your RX already excels in? It is a luxury cruiser that is as handy as a Swiss army knife. It can, with a few judicious tweaks, become even better. All that interior space gives you room for some serious entertainment upgrades, audio, video, navigation, and other electronics are available for your ride. Look into a combination of a car PC that will handle all of these plus bluetooth, and all of the functions of your home PC too.
Detail it out, and look for some really eye-catching rims. If you maintain all that wood and leather, it's going to be a LOT classier ride than the Civic.

I'd definitely recommend going the route of making it look nice. If the interior is not for you i'd at least slap some 20's or 22's on it. My 22's are on the way, I'll get some pictures up here when I get them. Definitely get some subs in the trunk too, maybe just an L5 with 750 watts on it or somethin. Doesn't need to be terribly expensive.
