RE: RICER
A ricer is someone who function follows form. Someone who tacks on aftermarket crap onto their car which exaggerate the part's intended performance is a ricer. Perfect examples are front fascias with a splitter/chin spoiler built in. Yes there is a function for these but having it flare out to the wheel wells and look like a snow plow is a little excessive. A spoiler does help w/ keeping the drive wheels down, but those huge wings are just added weight and on FWD cars, serve very little of their intended purpose. As for supra, STi, evo, etc. Those are factory rice. All of those listed cars come with absurdly large spoilers straight out of the box and styling that look like they came out of a video game (huge respect for their power, just missing torque). Basically it's people who follow the "if it looks fast, it is fast" mentality are ricers. Check it out on wikipedia, they've got a good definition.

RE: RICER

RE: RICER

RE: RICER
Ricers tradionally take a 4 cyl import & tweek it up to increase speed & looks. Ricers (Rice burners) are usually very flashy...it all started with the "Fast & The Furious" craze...everyone wanted to be like them. Mustangs, on the other hand, are known for raw power, looks & tradition...'Stangs have a very historic bloodline and it appears that it is here to stay. Ricers can be modified with cheap & inexpensive ways and they tend to produce. Also keep in mind, that kids really do not know about older muscle cars, they only really know what the see on the TV & Movies (Fast & the Furious anyone??)...Recently the bigger Ameircan manufactures came back with their retro looks to combat the ricer market..hence the Mustang, Challenger, Charger, PT Cruiser, and more. Mustangs stand for a long tradition of power, looks and history!

RE: RICER
It all sounds good except the under lights, to me THAT is the definition of RICE. Are you going to lower it? If you are going with low profile tires you will need to.

ok so this is my plan, i have an 06 vista blue coupe with black leather interior, white racing stripes, white rocker panel stripes, hood pins, shorty antenna, prob white rims, prob the either roush or cervini window lavours and side scoops, and im tryin to do a custome exhaust that would be a cetner pipe out the back, porshe style...thats exterior, do the engine, C&L intake and tune, plenum cover, jba power cables, engine dress up kits(hoses) chrome caps for everything...that soudns like its about it, o and im paint the brake calipers vista blue, and the last thing i might do, is get white undercar lights....i just think that would excentuate the rest of the car....would all that be ricey by ur standards? because i know that the car people i talk to, think that would look crazy...

RE: RICER
Rice is any anything you add to a car that does not add performance whether it is engine performance suspension handling performance or audio performance. Rice is also adding parts that are nonfunctional. Except for stickers because we all now stickers add 10 hp. Basically ricer is a car that is maid to look fast when it is not fast.

Actually, Acura is a division of the Honda Motor Company. So it would be more like putting a Cadillac emblem on a Chevy.
