Like overly crazy bodykits, lots of stickers or graphics. Could also be used on cars with spoilers that are way to huge, or one with large chrome rims. Its just basically a synonym for "Tacky"...

No its not heh. The term "rice" started as a (derogatory) term used to describe asian kids with asian modded cars (referring to the staple diet in their countries). Now its just used to describe anyone or anything associated with the scene, its not necessarily a diss to be called rice, although people outside the scene do use it as such.
ACTUALLY. The term Rice originated from the west coast and the Harley Scene. When import bikes started becoming huge all the harley people called them Rice Rockets... and it spread to the import cars as well. I read that somewhere... can't remember where.
But ya, i prefer to use the word "bunk" over rice.

AMEN!!!!!!! Or when little rice boys put fart tips on their stock mufflers to make noise.... uhhh that pisses me off. i want to go jump up and down on the tip.... or big aluminum wings. since the F&F those wings have become way too popular. rice is also copying someone's car exactly. or if someone has an original idea, you just do it.... copy cats arent cool! be original
I had to stand there in my shop and try and keep a straight face while some kid came in and bought a bi-level wing for his diamonte.... it was horrible.
worse yet is when someone as a dumby nitrous setup... just an empty bottle in the trunk/backseat and no plumbing under the hood. or claiming outrageos power with no actual adders...etc... j
yea, a guy in my town said that he could shoot a 350 shot of nos. thats not a typo he said he could do 350 on a stock GSR block. he had I/E. thats it. actually that was last summer. i told him he would blow his $hit up, but i dont think he listend because i dont see his car around anymore!!!
I guess aerospeed is making a new intake that looks just like an intercooler. yea its a good way to get cold air. but its rice anyway.
someone else told me that there is a new product out that you hook to your throttle. and when you get off the throttle it makes a blow off vavle sound..........RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolley es:

What's even funnier is how hard these stupid kids act... They'll roll in w/ their hat pointed off to one side (half of them not knowing that this is gang-affiliation territory), w/ clown suits on... it just gives our culture bad vibe.

Working at a shop it is so hard to not laugh when these kids come in with their auto civics and cavaliers and buy huge wings and neon underbody kits, and those f%ckin Altezza lights.
Most of them have no clue and can't even put a light bulb in. It is so iritating but it pays me.
i was gettin a custom tubing done ova here and this kid pulls up and ask me what i'm running and i told him i dont run...and he says well your car looks fast...and he told me that his 92 eclipse is running 11.99 secs ...so we started talking and come to find out this retard wants to put twin turbo in a dsm and he says that he is running on greddy turbo...and we looked at his engine and he is running stock turbo in there...he even said that he is boosting 20lbs and we asked him what is it right now and he says that its on 10lbs right now and we told him that doesnt a stock dsm runs on 12lbs of boost....stock setting...and had a big bottle of juice in the back and he says that its not hooked up and he took my friend for a drive and the guy couldnt even drive stick...stalled while backing up....and he took off...and it was slow as hell...he was gonna put a custom IC in his car...and we looked at the IC and it was a conquest IC...and we even showed it to him and he said no...we were like stupid...
