(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

I think my body kit is the only thing that makes my car "rice". Oh well everyone has some sort of rice on thier car that they like...in most cases!

Any Mitsubishi (or any car for that matter) can fall into that catagory if the owner gheys it up enough.

I've seen plenty of American rice out there too. Corvettes that have been covered in stickers and junk when the car was in dire need of a paintjob. Just sad.

I hate to tell you guys but most muscle car guys think all japanese cars are rice... even though they might own a slower car.

And personally, I would love to make my car look nicer... if I could afford it... lol.

Nothing wrong with a nice looking car in my book....

Btw, I got a good friend with a 7 sec mustang who also has a $10k paint job that won't ever drive the car on the street cause he is afraid to chip the paint, lol. I just don't want to ever be like that....

And he thinks I'm a ricer, lol. I have to admit though I did have stickers on my at one point, for a like a couple days. haha.

i used to be a muscle car guy... i didnt think all imports were ricers, but i cant speak for other muscle car guys... and i didnt take any personal offence to this thread at all, its his opinion and he has a right to it. besides, i dont think my car is riced out nor anyone on the site :)

I agree....I really haven't seen any rice in this club at all. Just because someone has a body kit or stickers on thier car doesn't mean they are rice. An unpainted body kit is another story.

but if you seriously have the performance to back it up...then you can put whatever on it (in good taste at least).
