Any of a number of persons, usually young males, who place numerous cosmetic enhancements to a vehicle in the belief that such enhancements will add performance to their vehicles. These "enhancements" include but are not limited to:

1. Incorrect badging
2. Insanely large exhaust tips (5" in diameter or greater)
3. Spoilers & bodykits; especially those made of cardboard or plastic
4. Offset tape stripes
5. Single wiper conversion
6. Oriental symbols; esp. on American cars
Cars do not neccesarily need to be imports to be considered "rice"- ex. "Cobra" badging and/or body kit on a V6 Mustang.
I've seen myself the following examples:

"RalliArt" badging on a Honda
"Evolution" badging and bodykit attempt on 1989 Mirage
"Neuspeed" badging on 1997 Lumina
"Type-R" badge and 5" exhaust tip on 1980s Civic Wagovan
Double spoiler, 18" rims and Type-R badge on Geo Metro
Type-R badge on Ford Probe

A ricer is an individual who "modifies" their vehicles with aftermarket or homemade components that offer little or no performance gain. Large mufflers resulting in a loud, low tone, lawnmower sound is very popular among ricers. Ricers also are obsessed with stickers, big spoilers, and body kits. Often, ricers neglect to paint body panels such as having a full primer gray body kit. Lamborghini(verticle) doors on Honda Civics are the reason Lamborghinis don't have Lamborghini doors anymore.

Contrary to popular belief, the term "ricer" has nothing to do with Asian vehicles:

"Rice" is an acronym for "Radically Immature Car Enthusiast".

Although the majority of ricers choose to "modify" base level Asian compact cars (IE: Honda Civics), have you ever seen a Chevrolet Cavalier or Dodge Neon? Enough said.

Ricers are famous for driving around revving their motors and trying to race everyone they see.
That civic is completely riced out and the 16 year old with the sideways hat playing loud rap music is a huge ricer.

There is a gathering of ricers at price chopper.

An individual that takes an OK car (not limited to imports) and turns it into complete crap. Usually adding on things such as huge, loud ass mufflers, NASA type spoilers and a collage of stickers that don’t really mean shit. Also, there have been sightings of FALSE front mount intercoolers. Upon first site of one of these rice rockets, the onlooker (if not a ricer) usually gets a disgusted look on their face. (Like when watching parts of FEAR FACTOR) And many cuss words also come to mind.
If you ever see a car with a muffler that has a larger diameter than its rims, it definitely is a ricer

1. unreasonably large spoiler on a front-wheel drive car
2. bodykits
3. Rims that are heavier than ones originally on the car
4. stickers or graphics done to the car when either the parts are not installed or cannot have them to begin with

honda civic with no payments left on it bought by second owner who then tints the windows and puts a spoiler and fart cans.
Generally speaking, the owner
1.places decals on every visible surface.
2.Puts on clear altezza tail lamps just in case people didn't realize they are a ricer, not a nizzle!
3.Installs tailpipes aka fart pipes mimicking the sound of a geriatric patient with rectal prolapse.
4.may put neon lights on or under car
5.puts a stereo in which makes the cheap plastic add-on components rattle like a can being kicked down the street.
6.the owner may put a spoiler on the Civic so as to have more surface area upon which to place stickers, and to make sure the cops know there's weed in the car.
7.Ricers show their spirit by neutral -dropping their 150,000 plus mileage vehicles at the stoplight only to be subjected to total ownage by SUV's pulling large boats.
*Ricers are common in New Jersey now due to the fact that they stopped making Camaros
*Ricers are the more annoying of supspecies of neanderthal that put aftermarket rims and ghetto fabulous shizzle on their transportizzle.


The Queer Eye guys came today and trashed Joey's Furniture, Clothes, and his ricer. Maybe now he'll get a job and possibly even get laid!

RICER, N; Any import car with any of the following items: large exhaust pipe (known as a fart tube), large fiberglass rear wing (known as a park bench), aftermarket tail-lights, fiberglass body kit that is a different color from the rest of the car, plastic spinner rims, many racing decals and or stickers, and neon lights. Ricers tend to rev up their engines so that they sound cool when passing crowds of people. They use terms such as "VTEC" and "NOS." They also exaggerate their cars horsepower.
1. "Yo man, I'm running 2000 lbs of boost. You can't touch my ricer honda dawg."

2. "Dude, once the VTEC kicks in, its all over." -ricer

3. "When we raced you called me a cheater, couldn't hang with the 1.6L" -ricer
