A variety of younger males that tend to dress up their 4 cylinder Japanese car or Korean car in aftermarket stickers, add a fartpipe, and an oversize spoiler.
The ones who do add actual engine modifications are only wasting their money because it would be cheaper and logical to buy a sports car that's fast to begin with.
Normal person: Why did you even bother with adding mods to a 4 cylinder economy car, that's gay dude.

Ricer: nah man what are you talking about this shits cool, I could beat a Corvette now.

Normal person: You could have bought a Corvette for what you wasted on that Piece.

A driver usually teenagers or young adult who spends NOT under the hood, but spend it on some stupid visuals to ruin the natural nature of cars. They are mostly seen riding in Imports, but sometimes you might see a riced Lamborghini or similar on the road. They also act like their civic are faster than a LaFerrari

For opposites of ricer, see tuner
I gave my brother money to buy a car. When he came back, it was a Honda Civic that looks like it was made by a child. He now says that his Civic is better than my Ferrari Geez... what a ricer.

My cousin is such a ricer, after he watched The Fast and The Furious, he went out and bought a honda civic, added a wing and 5 inch exhaust and got pwned by a mustang

a tasteless person who puts a lot of stickers of performance brands all over the car(even though he doesn't have any of those under the hood) a person with 22 inch chrome rims on a civic, with painted dashes, fart pipes, a giant banch on the trunk so that you can sit on it, and really low body kit that makes the car look lower but the suspensioon is still stock and on every turn the car is about to flip. Almost forgot they have lambo doors, that sounds so stupid. just think of it, "lambo" which comes from lamborghini is compared to a civic. i'm not against import cars, but some of them makes me sick
yesterday i saw a ricer, the guy was driving around the schoool with one lambo door open because probably he had enough money for only one door hinge, if he hits the gas to 1500rpm it made that noise that probably people from a neighboring state could hear it, the body kit was so low that wheels warn't tauching the ground
V-tech - all that noise and none of the power

The American equivalent of a UK boy racer's car; usually an import sedan (Civics and Corollas are usually the weapon of choice, but they are not by any means the only cars used) with exceptionally gaudy and tasteless external modifications while not having anything that actually increases performance. Funnily enough, many of the mods actually DECREASE performance by way of being designed for cars actually capable of pulling off what the average ricer can only dream of. Expect cheap plastic rims, underlighting, artificial lowering by way of cut springs, a plastic bumper that shatters the minute the car nears any sort of imperfection in the road, a plastic spoiler that actually increases wind resistance, an incredibly loud and garish bodykit, a gargantuan fucking exhaust setup that can be heard from multiple blocks away, a sound system that costs more than the car itself, and stickers for high-end performance gear that the driver of said car doesn't even own.
"Hey, did you see Tony trying and failing to pick up some random chicks in the Price Chopper parking lot?"
"No, I didn't. How was he going about it?"
"Y'know that '98 Camry that his grandpa bought him for his sixteenth birthday? Well, he turned it into a total fucking ricer and was cruising the parking lot while revving his engine whenever he saw some prospective pussy heading his way."
"Haha, fuckin' owned. Guess they saw through all the plastic and decals and noticed that it was still a worthless piece of shit. What a loser."
