What is rice/ricer?

I know this pertains to racing (hopefully not strictly to road-racing), and I'm curious, what is rice/ricer?

Rice is
big aluminum spoilers, bunch of stickers, loud obnoxious exhaust, accent lighting all over and under and inside the car...mostly on civics and accords but not limited to those cars.

called rice i guess because these tricked out hondas first started appearing in hong kong or something like that (?!). now it doesn't really seem to apply to who's driving more than what is being driven.

get the point?

OK, I'll assume this is not a joke, so here it is. Rice is basically negative terminology for anyone who puts big wings, oversized fart can mufflers, and a multitude of other things on there ride to make it look "cool". Here's an example. Although cool, the eclipse in fast and furious might be considered Rice. ANY honda/Acura (or other make for that matter) with TYPE-R badges that is clearly not a TYPE-R, is Rice. Is it real loud, have cut springs, have a huge wing and go 0-60 in 10 seconds? Rice again. It gets more and more complicated the longer I am involved with imports. I used to (and to some degree still am) into american muscle cars, so my style is more go than show. I love sleepers. I think I've got it! RICE IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF SLEEPERS. IT IS THE YIN TO THE YANG. THE ANTI-SLEEPER! There you have it. But that's just my opinion. Anyone else want to venture out on this one?

No, it wasn't a joke.

I agree, those other cars being Maxima's as well. I can post several pictures of riced out Max's but I'll refrain from doing so.

Brian you're sh!ttin me right, you have one of the tightest 3rd gens I have seen, everything you have on the car was done with class and more importantly taste, I am glad I got to appreciate it more in person at Woodbury, but at that time you still had the old BB's

My statement was directed at those guys who put Gtr emblems, headlight covers,chrome trim on the fenders,neon's up the wazoo so on and so forth. As a matter of fact, there were even one or two rice Max's in the previous Super Street ad, but I will keep the flames to myslef and not name any names.


DanNY: Your ride is far from rice, you have a pretty nice set-up there especially with those Konigs, alot of people may not be feeling your grill but I for one like it.

Hey, to some people even 1 sticker and ANYTHING in yellow pretty much automatically qualifies you.
Thanks for the compliments bro.

I think you're far less than me. After all you are monochrome white and you hate stickers.
