Default What is "Ricey" to you?

Ok... I think it's funny, the guys in different parts of the continent think of "rice" differently... so is rice relative or what?

I'm from OH, and here's my little "rice-list":

1) CLEAR signals.
2) Anything from Autozone?
3) A '91 'Teg with Wal-Mart foggies, a busted rear 1/4 panel, 2 shade red paint, and green underbody lights (Trust me, I've seen it.)

So what's ricey to you? (Just so I make a point of never bringing it up here... EVER. me... hahaha.. )
yay

Too many parts that serve no purpose (giant touring wings on FWD cars), or parts that look like they are functional but are not (ie the APC fake roll bar).

Ricey=*adjective*, A: Items partaining to any automobile that is strictly for aesthetic purposes and does NOT increase performance in any aspect.
B: A modification to a car that RESEMBLES a performance modification but does not actually increase performance, I.E.: Wings, body kits (90%), cut springs, exhaust tips, etc. etc. etc.
C: A direct representation of Low Self-Esteem issues and a deep desire to "fit-in". Also may be a personal issue of phallic representation.


P.S. sad thing is, most ricers are too stupid to understand any of the BIG words illustrated in A, B, and C.

Oh yeah!! One more important thing....

[Vash is getting on his soapbox]

Ahem....
When fixing up a car, do not do the following....
Have more that 4 lights on your front at any time, cover rust holes with an "SiR" emblem, don't add graphics that you shouldn't put on your car (i.e. I saw an STi sticker on an EG hatch...). If you don't know what "TireFlys" are, then thank the lord above. One more thing... if a little kid comes up and asks if you're Vin Diesel, then I think it's time to get rid of the instant rice.
Thanks! That's my .02

Alot of ricers dont even know that they are ricers.. (Ricer denial)

Usually what happens is, they find out how to properly tune thier cars..buy proper wheels, accessories and mod the engine appropriatley.

Then they look back and are embarrassed when they think of the stuff they did to thier rides before they knew about what was nice and what was rice... 2c

I think a ricer is a person who drive around in a non-vtec and they floor it at 5k to make it sound like they do have vtec. I just sit back and laugh

Anything chrome
Any product ever made by APC
Lowering the car too much, especially on steel wheels.
