When you see a kid who is rolling down the street with all show no go and knows nothing about his car and tries to talk "cool" about his car..when in all reality he knows nothing.
A kid who is not asian yet "tries" to be and has all different types of asian caligraphy on his/her car and is not asian whatsoever.

A person who owns a car and claims their car (usually imported) a 1987 Honda CRX with a body kit, has 30k worth of work done, and then proceeds to get laid out by a 1998 Pontiac Grand AM GT with flowmaster mufflers and a cold air intake.
Deluded Individual: "Rickys 1987 CRX is awesome, I heard he has over 30 thousand in the car."
Person two: His body kit snapped when he drove over a 2 inch speed bump. I was riding with him that day. He tried to race this Grand AM with no body kit, so he just knew we would win. Unfortunately within 2 seconds we were 10 car lengths behind! Ricky is a ricer!"

A term that every person has a different view on and that nobody can agree on. The basics of the term stay the same, a vehicle that is all show and no go. Body kits, stickers, neon, spoilers, etc. People often wrongfully use the term when someone does have a body kit and exterior mods but does also have the power to back it up. You need to look under the hood to acurately call someone a ricer. Some say that any car with an excessive wing would be a ricer. Well then what about a 1970 Plymouth Superbird from the factory, the wing on that was about 3 feet tall, is the owner of that muscle car a "ricer" because of the wing? The answer is no. It is possible to have a body kit, wheels and have a non-ricer car, it must be done with good taste and not overdone with useless stickers.

a teen, or young adult who often add these modifications to a front wheel drive Japanese car, often a Honda: a loud coffee can muffler, which makes you temporarily deaf, fake chrome rims from wal-mart/auto zone, a ridiculous body kit, not painted, add a 35 degree spoiler, and install a sound system blaring rap that sounds like a swarm of bee's..
You are in a Z28 just cruising around when you become deaf by a ricer... when he stages up to you, you can see his cockiness and his stupid honda (most of the time.) You show him what true american muscle is, and he miss shifts and blows his engine... its going to a better life anyways

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.
