Meaning:
"looking out of place , too cheezy , overstated , put in more then what was required"
A car with unecessary modifications to make it faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually are very heavy and end up in suspension problem
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, Ending up to make the car even uglier.
- Clear tail lights and raplace the orignals with horrible replicas.
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are; Honda Civics, Mitsubishi Lancers, Toyota Corollas , khybers however there are some domestics such as cuore, mehran, alto; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow.
Ricer:
Usually people who try to get into the import tuning scene after watching the fast and the furious a few too many times. Not necessarily anyone who goes and buys a bodykit, because a few of those actually do decrease drag, increase cooling, etc., like veilside and stuff, just crappy ripoffs that dont do a damn thing except maybe increase downforce, but if you have a FWD car, a spoiler is just gonna make you go slower. Also, if you have any idea how cars work, you'd realize that there really is no point in making a car look fast if it cant go fast, and if you dont understand how cars work, or dont care, you have no business even pretending to be a part of the tuner scene.
Case:
Billy and Bobby both have 6000 to spend on their car. Billy invests it in suspension and engine work, and Bobby buys a "sick" body kit, and some "tight" rims. So, Billy has a fast car that will surprise anyone wanting to race it, and bobby is hitching a ride back home, because his "sick" body kit blocked all air to the engine.
Can you spot the ricer?
YOURE MAD AT ME ARENT YOU? Its your corolla and its a beauty. Addition of light weight rims will make it look nice and run nice. I wouldve preferred nice rims only , Body kits are not my thing.
Once again its your car. Do what you feel best.
wana see some really weird ricings?

your bro
