To take a motor vehicle, usually a Japanese import such as a Honda Civic and give it the ugliest fucking body kit ever. Examples include:

A spoiler taller than a semi truck
A muffler or "fart can" with a bigger diameter than a rocket engine
Fake eBay rims
Slammed suspension
Extreme camber
An obnoxiously loud sound system
A vehicle wrap/paint job that costs more than the car did originally

If any "performance" mods are done, these are only limited to an eBay cold air intake or an eBay turbo, usually bought for under $500. The demographics of ricers are usually aged 16 - 20, the age in which many first get their license. People often rice their car to give them the impression that their car is fast, or they are just retarded and unironically think it looks good.
Person 1: Look at that fucking honda dude

Person 2: God damn ricer

(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their cheap Japanese cars to make it look faster and expensive.
Most commonly but not limited to; Honda Civics, Mitsubishi Lancers....etc.

The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Loud exhausts to attract attention
- Large spoiler that serves no purpose

- Lots of decals and fake parts like brembo covers
With a gentle step on the pedal, the GTR left the ricer far behind.

An absolute piece of shit car, usually a honda civic or other cheap hatchback. Normally they will have an abundance of sponsor stickers that mean nothing, fading paint, a stock engine with a new air filter, and an assload of colorful wire organizers. People who drive ricers inherently think they're cooler than they actually are.
Xavier: Hey dude check out my new honda civic, Isn't it cool!

Person with common sense: No way dude, it's totally a ricer

A person that drives a Honda Civic (usually) and has useless mods to make his car look fast but not go fast. The most common mods for ricers are:

Fart Cans

Big Wings

Ugly Rims that cost more than the car itself

A livery with tuning brands that aren't mods from the ricer

A big ego but when they race to a Saab 9-2x they lose

And they get salty when that 9-2x wins
Hah, I beat that ricer in my Saab 9-2x! Heck yeah!

Race inspired cosmetic enhancements. Not oh I don’t like the car so it’s rice
A ricer is like a civic with lots of cosmetic mods ex: Wing, splitter, canards without any power mods when it’s never tracked or raced.

A car that appears to be fast, but can be beat in a race by a 2010 Hyundai i30.
Dude, that Volvo S40 looked fast because of the hood scoop and spoiler, but under the hood, that thing is a ricer!
