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?

A fuel saving Japanese car, usually Honda, that was never built for racing. But some people, for some reason, spend thousands of dollars to add countless number of stickers of performace products that they mostly likely dont have, average of 6 foglights, big colorfull rims(note: big rims are NOT for racing) expensive paintjob.
wazzzzz hapenin, i just spent $10,000 on ma Civic, i'll race your stock Camaro SS for slips, yo! (Camaro won, ricer cried)



ma Civic was faster when it was stock. i guess all those stickers dont add as much horsepower as i hoped.

1- Asian, European, exotic and/or "race" inspired cosmetic enchancements to a vehicle with stock or near-stock performance. Typically applied to economy vehicles. Especially tragic when applied to a muscle car.

2- False representation via text, paint, body panels or badging of a vehicle's true model or trim. Only applies to text or badging from a 'higher' model.

3- The opposite of a sleeper.
1- "That Mustang is pure rice. The lambo doors, altezza tails, HID's and Kanji might win him some high school sluts, but he ain't winnin' any races."

2- "Why would you put SVT badges on your V6? That's rice, man. Your fobra ain't foolin' nobody."

3- "My pink slip is on the line but I ain't worried, that Civic is all rice."

Also known as Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements, or pointless/ugly visual customization is a term used by real car enthusiasts for extremely cosmetically modified cars back in the 2000s and the early 2010s to mock the owners that did horrible cosmetic modifications to their vehicles.

Nowadays, rice can also be done by any "car guy" influenced by social media such as Instagram or TikTok, and can add many pointless things onto their vehicle, such as liveries that serve no purpose or mimic a style, extremely wide wheels that are either replicas or actual real wheels, an extreme amount of unnecessary wheel tilt (or, camber) or the usual plastic tow hooks known as "tsurikawas". These rice vehicles have no performance mods and will remain slower than an average Toyota Prius driven by an old lady. These types of rice cars are also a danger to the road, and most of them are well-known to be seen in the car scene as the illegal type of meets known as "sideshows", or "takeovers".
P: Did you see that red Nissan 350Z on TikTok?

B: Yeah, I can see that it looks super clean. It's stanced. You're just hating it.

P: No, it's riced out. Who does he think he is, does he think he's in the Fast and Furious movies? Or going to fly like in Back to the Future?

B: I don't know man, it looks good. You don't know the true meaning of rice.

P: Yeah, I do. That car is so slow, even a Charger Scat Pack will beat that thing.
