RICE stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement, which basically means buying parts that have no true function for a car to make it look as if it is fast with no engine or performance modifications to back it up. Most often, these cars are made by Honda and driven my people (called ricers) who do not actually know much about the innerworkings of their vehicle. These cars are made to look like cars used for racing and/or drifting such as a Toyota Supra or a Nissan 240SX.

Either a Japnease car tuned to sound like a crying baby, or the term used to describe a helpless teen that thinks his or her lawnmower-powered civic or eclipse could own a Vette or Ferrari.

Adding plastic airplane spoilers and Wal Mart quality exhaust to an import or sometimes domestic automobile. It's common knowledge in the tuning world that clear tail lights, rice can exhaust, and "Ballin" rims can augment a cars horsepower by a minimum of 400%.
"Hey look there goes that riced up civic...ooo sweet he's redlining it at the red light...ooo...almost got a burnout there..."
"Dude if he'd only get a bigger spoiler, he'd demolish everyone."
"I love ricers..."

A small vehicle that's big on ignorance. Usually laden with asinine "mods", like garish plastic ground effects that were never painted to match the rest of the car, a giant whale-tail even though it's front-wheel-drive, and a fart-can whose sound encourages everyone to turn and laugh at the driver.
This phenomenon is sad, really. It may have resulted from the fact that stupid consumers flocked to front-wheel drive, despite the fact that these cars handle like a sled on concrete and AREN'T WORTH MODIFYING.

Back in our parents' day, kids would save up to buy an old Chevelle and work on it until it was a V-8 powerhouse.
Today, most of that demographic has been replaced with spoiled brats who think they can buy performance in the form of stickers and a subwoofer. Instead of wasting their money on these laughable ricers, they could have scoped out Auto Trader for a great muscle car and owned a classic.

A doofus who can't even drive a stick shift, but who goes to great expense trying to make his car LOOK fast without increasing it's performance. All show and no blow!
Look at that silly Honda with the big exhaust pipe and the wing! The jackass ricer thinks it's cool, but it has an automatic transmission! What a pantywaist!

Any group of white suburban teenagers whom drive cars (that they think are fast once loaded with mounds of useless non-preformance inproving parts)that their parents bought them. (noted for their inablity to pronounce race as it comes out as rice)
