A shortened way of saying Race Inspired Cosmetic Effects

A popular among the automotive crowd, Rice describes cars that have been modified visually; be it a very agressive and over-done body kit, rear spoiler (very popular "rice"), 'Euro'-style or 'Altezza' (clear lens and silver plastic, red lenses - second most popular) tail lights, or a bunch of useless car modifications, including but not limited to: Fake nitrous bottles, Type R stickers, 19" rims, fake hood/body/roof scoops, ground-effects lighting (glow under car), and the infamous fart-can muffler (usually 3 1/2" or more in diamater, identifyable by its annoyingly loud drone, reminiscent of a screwed-up subwoofer or a fart in a can, hence the term fartcan).
Man the spoiler on that 240 is nothing but rice.

Look at those dumb rice taillights on that Civic! Ugly, man!

Uhh... the body kit on that Tiburon SCREAMS rice.

Man that Eclipse is rice, from its Altezzas to that stupid fartcan.

any modification that is supposed to make a car look fast, when in fact it does nothing for speed, and may in fact hurt performance, or any vehicle that has been subjected to this treatment. note that any make of vehicle may be "riced". gaudy, pointless, absurd body modifications and paint schemes, annoying bees hive exhaust tips. asians are the best at "ricing" a vehicle, along with spoiled rich white high-school teenagers.
after watching super2nr tv, lets go check out the rice section of pep-boys.

Import car owners who add a 2 foot spoiler, a one inch ground clearance kit, a large tin can to the exhaust (which sounds like a go-cart) system and place chinese and japenese characters all over the car hoping it will travel faster. They think they have race cars. Very often found around chinese food places. Despite what may be thought, the only threat is their driving skill on the road and trying to navigate around them. Also believed to race sometimes, but never winning, even to a 1981 dodge omni

A go-kart that looks very similar to a japanese car, but it sounds the same, and goes just as fast as a go cart. It has
1) Very large rims
2) Huge Spoiler
3) Less horsepower than a lawnmower
4) All of Which is pushing about as much torque as a hamster wheel
5)Not to mention all the other crap, such as body kits, and decals
Oh and yes, Skylines, and 350z's are also rice
