>shopping list - fake sponsor's stencils on the side panels

>giant "nismo" sticker - especially on non-nissan cars

>cannon exhaust - stupidly large exhaust kit that makes the engine sound like a fart

>oversized spoiler - especially on front-drive cars

>over the top body kit, especially with mismatched paint

>pictures of dragons anywhere on the car

>fake bonnet scoop

>neon lights

>anything held on with sticky tape
Honda civic, Mitsubishi lancer, and Nissan exa are all common examples of rice

All Show...No Go! Modifying a car that is a piece to begin with, and doing nothing but body work to it in the end. Most likely loud, and unreliable.
Like at that piece, how much money do you think he put in that rice?

Rice is a term used to describe a trend in the modern, American, car culture. An offshoot of the true underground street racing scene of the late 80s, where people want to become a part of the scene, though they were never really involved in it at the beginning. So when some one puts what would be considered Rice on their car it is in an effort to fit into the image of the street racer. The cheapest way to look like this way is with purely sensory modifications, Altezza lights, large muffler tips without any exhaust modifications, wild paint, wild body kits, spoilers, mismatched badges and stickers, large flamboyant rims, excessive stereo, etc.
Anything that would appear to add performance, but inreality does not.Though any care can be “riced” it usually occurs with sport compact cars both domestic, and foreign. The ricer modifies his or her car to please others, rather then himself, they are more concerned that their car looks fast, that if it is fast.
"That car is riced out."
"Look at that ricer."
"I dont like that, mod it is to rice for me."
