Not sure if this is where to post it... but from what I heard on this board, "ricer"/"rice" is someone who spends money with mods that only affect looks but not performance. would you consider someone a ricer if they had the spoiler/neons and all that junk BUT still invested in performance mods and had a decent car? Where do you draw the line? What are your thoughts on a mustang with lambo doors? I am new here and trying to get a feel on what is considered rice and what isnt..

 

This is "Rice....."

JMO, yes lambo doors on a Mustang = Rice. Lambo doors are for Lambo's only. IMO rice occurs when you modify your car just to draw shock value attention to youself. If you see a mod on a car and think "Man that is Fugly" or hear an engine or exhaust that sounds like a kazoo, that too is rice. I think the term started with the cheap imports from Japan but the disease has spread and is now infecting our great american muscle cars.

 

Lambo doors dont equal rice. Have you seen Autobadges' (Erick) Showstang it has a vertical door kit and I dont know who would consider that rice.

That above purple car is rice because of things like that giant wing. If a car is done tastefully, it shouldnt be considered rice.

 

Thinkin about neon lights for my stang so when i race at night ya can see a big blue flash of light kinda like lightning... what ya all think???

 

I think you should get side markers and LED windsheild sprayers too!

 

erm i know many civics and preludes that are pretty clean... no mods at all... just boner stock cars. and rice is not what you defined in ur post... mods that only affect looks? what if I upgraded my stock wing to a saleen 281 wing... will that make me a ricer? No. If I add a saleen bodykit to my stang or add a cobra r hood/front to my stang, will that make me rice? NO! But when you add the wrongful parts that make your car look absolutely outrageous then yes that is called rice. Lambo doors belong to Lambos. Not on stangs. My 2 cents.

 

Its just easier to say rice to hah. I agree about the lambo doors too...yuck, along with alteza lights.

 

Alteeza lights = rice
lambo doors = rice
5' high spoiler = definately rice
fart-can muffler = rice-a-riffic

 

Smoking the **** out of one = PRICELESS!!!!!!!
