What do YOU consider a ricer?
-
Well here's my take on what I call a ricer:
People with a fart can that think its cool to drive around in a low gear, making the engine rev higher, thus more annoying exhaust, when they pass you it sounds like a weed wacker just flew by.
Someone who stomps on the gas as soon as the light turns green at every light.
And one I hate a lot is someone who tries to race everyone in town, from some old fart in a corvette to a old lady in a metro, there seems to always bee 1 guy out there that wants to race everyone.
Since I had a camaro, I had guys 2 or 3 times a day, rev ther engines at me, try to race me, or fly by me at dangerous speeds with weed wacker exhaust.
And probally the worst of all, ugly vinyl graphics and stupid wings. Now I have nothing against either one if done right, but fast and furious graphics or a giant manufacture name or logo that covers half the car is horrible. Wings can be done right and wrong, if its aluminum and it serves no purpose other than looks, thats bad, but if its fiberglass and goes with the lines of the car and is suttle will be fine, but nothing as big as what you would find on a airplane.
And 1 more, people who paint interior trim wierd colors and think it looks cool, wire their car lighting and other crap with speaker wire, use duct tape to hold any parts on the car, have gauges that don't work or serve any purpose, install racing seats just for the heck of it, fake roll bars, wearing 5 pont harnesses while driving to the grocery store, etc....
Well if any of you fit these catigories, I will call you a ricer.

Rice is a state of mind as well as a state of car, and is adjusted accordingly.
So I agree with attitude.

Well I would say they use duct tape for a reason on the track, I don't think you would see any of those guys driving there regular car ont he street though with duct tape on it.
Speaking of duct tape I saw a s10 blazer yesterday that had the windshield duct taped in, now thats stupid.

my upper intercooler pipe is duct taped cause thats the only way it would stay on anymore does that mean im a ricer? and i have 2 gauges that arent hooked updamnit i must be a huge ricer
I wouldn't call the tape rice but i'd call it gettho "dog"
mine has a bit of ricer in it between the gold trimed chrome rims and web site address on the back window... plus I have a bit of old school with the skull shifter.. yet a bit of clean with having the factory sport ground effects and interior package as the only exterior look changes (yes with a small wing that flows with the lines of the car)
BIG RICER: a pink with lots of glitter in the paint eclips with MN plates i seen yesterday... big goddy ground effects package... huge wine that was possibly an aluminum wing also painted pink... i almost hit the power window switch and to throw up.... I just hope it was a women with it, it's really the only way to explain the neon pink looks like it crashed through a glitter factory paint job

no matter what you do, someone on this site will be hating on you. but just make your car your own. I think that if you can back up any mod with "because I like it" no one should be able to complain about it, but if you back it up with "cause it's pimp" you might run into some problems. but yeah NO WINGS!!!make sure you like your car and don't care what others think
Whats wrong with wings? I like my "factory" one.

I know I am late hopping on the bandwagon here but here is the deal with a ricer in my opinion. If it makes sense with the car who cares as long as you like it. If You think it looks good thats all that matters but be prepared to defend why. The only thingsthat I think are rice is when you stick things that make no sense on your car. AKA a Skyline GT-R on a cavi. or a honda decal up in the back window of your car without changing the badges. Crap like that. Unpainted kits I hate. If you can afford the kit you should be able to afford the paint. If you cant dont put it on till you can. My last thing is the freaking neon tubes. If you can see the tubes your wrong. those brackets the good kits come with are designed to get them up underneath the frame. Use em! There is nothing I hate seeing more than a nice car with a big neon tube underneath. Also get a full kit of em (4-8 tubes in series), dont rig one up out of Autozone and spencers neon tubes. K i am going to stop ranting man. Have fun with your car, and make it your own. dont worry about everyone else because it is not their car.

Ok, just realized what it looked like when I put in "factory"....its oem honda, just JDM honda. my bad. The pic is old, it is lowered with mugen ss, oem honda type-r centercaps and oem honda sidemarkers now......call it what you want, but my "wing" actually functions for downforce along with the oem honda type-r lip/sides/rear. Call it "ricer". Ive even had people call any import a ricer, mod or no mod. I like the JDM theme. I like that everything functions (well, almost everything). And I like it all. Already thinking of the new Acura RDX when it comes out, how to make it a Honda version (if it is going to be sold over there that is).
