I don't think so. Maybe Posting ur car might help us to tell u our opinion more accurately if u want to know. Also, I think whether it's rice or not to other eyes ain't that important than how U see ur car.

Rice is all in the eye of the beholder. Rice to one is not rice to another.
Do u really need dual exhaust???

Would this be considered a ricer??
A rice is a single grain of a starchy seed of an annual marsh grass which is cultivated in warm climates and used for food.

However, if you mean to ask if your car would look riced out in modern automotive standards, well then lets explain. If it looks cheezy, is unecessary for going fast or serves no real purpose but to show off to 16 year olds, then it may be considered rice. Obvously this is all subject to debate. But if you need to ask someones opinions, then yes you are a ricer. To each his own. And if you like the way the cars looked in F&F, then more power to you, and go ahead and start modding. Oh, and for the record, Altezza lights on a car other than the Toyota Altezza/IS300 = Rice.

ok, you spent money on 500$ pissy boom boom and a big nasty body kit, wasted money to the max... does the body kit offer you a noticable about of downforce cruising or something while you knock your eardrums out??

i went with show because i know i cant get my car down to 12 sec. I figured that if i wanted to go fast i would have gotten a camero Z28 or a cobra mustang not an accord. Why buy a $13,000 car put $7,000 in to it and only have it a 13 second car?? i would just buy a camero or mustang for that and smoke ya.. why wast my money on somthing that wont be that fast when i can spend it on somthing that looks great and sounds awsome??
