Also known as Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements, or pointless/ugly visual customization is a term used by real car enthusiasts for extremely cosmetically modified cars back in the 2000s and the early 2010s to mock the owners that did horrible cosmetic modifications to their vehicles.
Nowadays, rice can also be done by any "car guy" influenced by social media such as Instagram or TikTok, and can add many pointless things onto their vehicle, such as liveries that serve no purpose or mimic a style, extremely wide wheels that are either replicas or actual real wheels, an extreme amount of unnecessary wheel tilt (or, camber) or the usual plastic tow hooks known as "tsurikawas". These rice vehicles have no performance mods and will remain slower than an average Toyota Prius driven by an old lady. These types of rice cars are also a danger to the road, and most of them are well-known to be seen in the car scene as the illegal type of meets known as "sideshows", or "takeovers".

P: Did you see that red Nissan 350Z on TikTok?
B: Yeah, I can see that it looks super clean. It's stanced. You're just hating it.
P: No, it's riced out. Who does he think he is, does he think he's in the Fast and Furious movies? Or going to fly like in Back to the Future?
B: I don't know man, it looks good. You don't know the true meaning of rice.
P: Yeah, I do. That car is so slow, even a Charger Scat Pack will beat that thing.
