Icon2 Does my car look like a ricer?

I bought this honda a few months back. I'm just wondering if this looks like a ricer or not. I bought this car as is and did no mods to it yet. I just want some honest opinions.

EDIT: Ignore the stupid sticker on the window it was there when I bought it and I removed it.
EDIT2: Pictures Bigger
EDIT3: The car does have some minor performance mods.
Spectra short ram intake
Real aftermarket exhaust(not a fart can)
Was tuned for performance
also had and engine swap with a build japanese engine 1.6 vtec sohc. Its slightly more horsepower then the stock EX engine.

I don't think it looks ricer. Get yourself a better set of wheels, even if it's a rota/drag wheel and it will completely change the look/stance. Stick with a 15" or a 16" with a 7" width and an offset no lower then +20

it actually looks pretty clean to me. Def. not rice. Rice is more so tackiness and **** just thrown on. But its also somebody's opinion. Somebody else's rice maybe not somebody else's..

It looks alright man, as long as you like it, that's all that matters.
If you want to change something up, what do you have in mind?

A ricer is defined by pointless cosmetic upgrades, huge body kits, wings, big ol' rims and things of that nature and no actual upgrades to performance.

15s or 16s.. Itll change the look, as said by type r. I have 15x6.5 at like 37mm ofset, and it sits pretty close to flush. Im amazed you have mudflaps. My car didnt have them, i want a set sooo bad but theyre discontinued, and people charge like 125.. **** that. But other than the wheels, its clean bro!

Btw..ebay or si grill?

Well as far as cosmetics I want to get some 15'' or 16'' wheels like you guys mentioned
  • touch up the tint (its coming off a little)
  • Get a slightly smaller muffler because the size I have now is actually losing some back pressure (or whatever its called lol)

    For performance im thinking of doing..
    • performance chip
    • another engine tune up
    • maybe turbo it

But back in 1996_2002, it was the norm.

I have no idea, it was like that when I bought it but I personally think it looks better that way.

The tune up and elimination of back pressure should net you ~20hp. Should be felt in the seats for sure!

Okay, I'm not a Honda guy ('cept with motorcycles). I'm a V8 muscle car guy.

With that said, this doesn't look ricey. The wheels are the main thing that push it towards ricenation, but they could be worse. Get some HX wheels. Nice look, very lightweight, cheap rubber, but more absorption on bumps too than thin sidewall tires.
