Ricer

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

Ricer

Much like several terms referring to the LGBTQ community, Ricer can be used both as a slur or to refer to a community with a specific aesthetic and can often be confused by those unfamiliar with the community as being racially charged or out and out racist.

Ricer, when used in a non derogatory manner, refers to community of car enthusiasts focused on primarily cosmetic changes with an aesthetic popularized in America by movies like The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Anime such as Intital D, and video games such as Midnight Club.

Ricers primarily use cars of Asian design

such as Hondas, Toyotas, Hyundais, and their subsidiary companies such as Lexus, Scions, etc. This is used an argument for the racist nature of the term; however, As the aesthetic style originated in Asia and was imported to America, I personally find this to be an unfair assault on the community.

Within the Ricer community exists subcommunities such as JDMs (Japanese Drift Machines), which is both an aesthetic community and an actual brand who makes modification parts.

While JDMs are Ricers, not all Ricers are JDMs. It has been a struggle of the JDM community to maintain their unique identity as many specifically white people become uncomfortable using the term ricer and have instead began using JDM as a stand in for ricer. This has lead the JDM community to get very defensive of what is JDM and as such can give the community the reputation of being toxic.
Guy 1: I just bought this car for like 3000. It looks sick, but the guys at the tire shop that the rim on my car was a 18.5 inch with an 18 inch tire on it, who even does that?
Guy 2: Dude, you bought a Ricers project car... They sometimes value form over function.

Guy 1: The guy I bought it from was white, why did you just assume he was Asian.

Guy 2: That's not what I meant by Ricer. I mean the car is literally aesthetically an example of the Ricer community.

Guy 1: I think you mean JDM community.

Guy 2: No, I mean Ricer. This is a Korean made car and has grippy tires. It is definitely not a Japanese Drift Machine.

Guy 1: But that word sounds kinda racist.

Guy 2: Dude, Next Saturday the ricers are having a car show. Come with me and I can actually introduce you to some of my Ricer friends. They may be able to help you with your tire problem.

River don’t mean a Asian car or cars with body parts. A ricer is a person who drives a slow car and runs a 500$ spoiler because it looks cool.
basically they make car look cool but do nothing to the actual vehicle.

Ricer

Ricer is the most outstanding girl you’ll ever meet. She has two aspirations in life: 1) to watch anime, 2) to eat McDonalds regularly. Ricers persona studies political science by day, and takes coding classes for math credits by night. Regardless, she’s always rocking a badass hair color to match her unmatched clothing style. Her big eyes and upturned nose would make her an amazing model. And her funky personality keeps on adding to her Peruvian charm.
Guy 1: Holy fuck, did you see Ricers fit today? She’s a total goddess.

Guy 2: For real, man. I fucking love UCR.
