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

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 like the stock look, the only way i will change my cars is if some mofo hits my car so i need a new bumper and paint job, that the only way i'm goin to put cash in looks, else it all performance all the way
now i know i will get called ricey cause i got an auto, and auto aren't mad to drive as fast as MT, but i have yet to be race agains cause i look too stock, and un mod, and i know the cops leave my ass alone, cause all i got is an intake but soon i will be doin ****...

i need to find more rice boy to race
