It would be without that aftermarket spoiler and ugly exhaust tips.

In my oponion a ricer is someone who has a vehical (domestic or import) that they try to make just look fast, but it really isn't. Than they try to show it off and try to make people think its a fast car.
Some examples.

:Huge Fart Cannon (Ehaust that makes more sound than it really needs to, or huge exhaust tip)

:Bad Body Kit (The ones that arnt put on right, or obviously looks like shit)

:Intake (I know these do help in performance, but people would get the intake and exhaust than think they can race and beat everyone on the road)

:Uneccessary Lighting (This includes neon/led lights that really only show off how much the car itself sucks)

: Alteza Tail Lights (this is kinda a given, too many of these floating around and look like shit on cars)

:Oversized or non matching Spoiler (Crappy spoilers that shake and wobble or just do not match the car in any way or form)

: Carbon Fiber Hoods (Real or fake, if u dont have any performance mod's this isn't gonna help much anyways, but if u do, thatsa a different story)

: Crappy Homedone Paint Jobs (The ones who try to cover up dents and stuff because their car is fast so they decided to spray paint the car black)

:MOST IMPORTANT: Chrome Rims (This is a no brainer, if ur gonna be racing in any way or form u do not want chrome/heavier rims on ur car)

Theres are mostly what I judge ricers on. I know there are tuners but u can always tell when someone is a tuner or just a pure ricer.

Carbon fiber hoods may shave a few pounds. It doesnt help any more if you have all of the perfomrance modifications in the world. The entire body made out of carbonfiber is another story on weight loss.

Spoilers that add more drag than down force and/or are put on FWD cars that tend to understeer is by far the gayest thing ever....ever

Most muscle cars are rice. Rice is unnessicary modifications that would often be associated with performance. 5" exaust tips and giant, drag ridden spoilers are rice.

Hey everyone,
I have been looking around on the site for a while now and I keep seeing people talking about things being "rice". What exactly does that mean? I own a 1996 Eclipse with a body kit, carbon fiber hood, black projector headlights, black taillights, shaved door handles, and carbon fiber spoiler all on the way. I like the looks of all the things I have ordered and don't see why you are calling things "rice". Each type of car (Import, Domestic, Exotic, Muscle, Truck, SUV, etc.) has a different group of people that love them and appreciate uniques things that are available to their type of car. That doesn't mean that if you're a domestic guy that your opinion doesn't matter about import things (it does), it just means that you don't own an import and so won't like certain things for them that people that own imports do. I reall enjoy getting everyone's opinions on the board because I want to have a nice tuner, but I don't want to go crazy with it. But keep in mind tuners have a unique look to them, that's what makes them a tuner.

For example: Double tier wings = ricer - They are too tall IMO.

Body Kits = tuner - They look nice if you pick the right one.

First off yes, your Eclipse is going to be a **** ricer... because all your "tuning" is cosmetic, and pathetic to boot.

second, body kits aren't "tuner".... tuner implies increasing the horsepower and handling of the car, not making it look like shit...

Also body kits, are just wanna-be aerodynamic modifications... if your wing and body kit actually provided downforce then it wouldn't be rice...

Just so to clear things up, he is taking the motor and going to bore it, stroke it, turbocharge it, new cam, nitrous, port and polished heads(i think), new pistons, and a whole bunch of other shit.

So no he is just not going to have cosmetic things done to it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
