To excessively modify and augment the physical appearance of sub compact economy vehicles in an attempt to make it them fast. Examples include unsightly body kits, oversised mufflers, (which are actually detremental to performance) neon lighting, thousands of decals, and of course, twenty inch rims which are far too heavy for these vehicles to handle.
Jimmy G thought he was "dopey-fresh" in his riced out Honda. That was, until my Bronco used it as a ramp.

i) Food staple, ususally associated with asian countries but consumed worldwide.

ii) A car, usually a late model of japanese origin, that has had numerous features added to it that may enhance its looks, but do nothing for its performance.
Examples include "VTEC" and "Mugen" stickers, large spoilers, chrome wheels ( see also bling bling ), large diameter exhaust pipes,
clear brake light lenses and lowered springs.

iii) Individual features of a car noted in (ii) above
i) "I'd like a number 24 with sweet & sour sauce, 3 spring rolls and a bowl of rice please"

ii) Look at that Civic!. It's pure rice!

iii) Don't put that huge spoiler on your car dude, it's 100% rice.

A cheap low performance asian car which is mechanically stock standard but has been dressed up to look fast. The owner typically spends more money on making the car look fast than it was originally worth. Telltale rice characteristics include:

>shopping list - fake sponsor's stencils on the side panels

>giant "nismo" sticker - especially on non-nissan cars

>cannon exhaust - stupidly large exhaust kit that makes the engine sound like a fart

>oversized spoiler - especially on front-drive cars

>over the top body kit, especially with mismatched paint

>pictures of dragons anywhere on the car

>fake bonnet scoop

>neon lights

>anything held on with sticky tape
Honda civic, Mitsubishi lancer, and Nissan exa are all common examples of rice

v. To take a shitty jap car, add some Vtech stickers, spoiler, and fuck up the camber.
I just spent $12000 ricing up a $8000 piece of shit.

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?
