Default rice?

what exactly is rice? i have my own idea of what rice is (anything that seems to go over the top, euro lights, 20's, crazy body kit) but im still confused to the exact definition. people seem to have very different views of what is rice especially on a mustang. i personally think that roush and saleen body kits look rice. exhaust tips over 3 inches, rice. too many decals, rice. i just wanted to know everyone's opinion on the matter and do you think this car is rice because i do (interior and exhaust [:'(]):

to each his own i guess:

the 20" rims, 5" exhaust tips and the neons make it rice for me. The body kit looks good.

i consider this rice http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/select3255.htm

To me Rice is something that is non functional and done with the sole purpose of attracting attention. I don't consider a Saleen Body kit rice because it is wind tunnel tested to lower the down force of the car...most other kits are just for look so they are rice to me. I'm guilty of some ricing with my billit aluminum interior pieces.

that first one says its a GT but its badged like a v6... which would make it incredibly gayer. the rims are the worst part on both the cars

ok here's another question what constitutes posing? some say that getting a saleen body kit would be trying to pose as a saleen, but just about everyone has a mach 1 chin spoiler and grill delete, are we posing as mach's? i personally think that subtle touches are ok but too much would be overdoing it. I was considering getting a mach 1 hood and shaker but decided not too because i already have the chin spoiler and grill delete. just a lil confused. lol

all show and no go!!!!

usually the excessive attributes(like a park bench for a wing) gets labeled "RicE"

they put the exterior parts that would normally be put on a fast car, on a really slow car. . .
