There are a ton of pics here Ken, once you see a pic, you will uderstand. Cars with all the Type R stickers is a good example. Try to do a seach, I remember at least two threads that had nothing but pics of ricers in them.

check out www.ricecop.com that site is fuckin hysterical...its funny because some of the rice boys write in and defend their car, its soo funny....to me, fart cans, altezza tail lights, clear tail lights SCREEEAM rice boy.....other than that, it really depends on the car and the situation...if a honda civic has loads of stickers on it but its 12 second screamer, than fine, thats not exactly rice, but if a stock Civic has stickers, body kit, etc...thats totally rice..

what "rice" started out to mean, is when you put something that doesn't belong on the car. such as a Type R sticker on a Nissan or a TRD sticker on a Honda. but now it seems that people just use "rice" to describe anything that in their opinion they dont like. a bodykit is too extreme..OH THATS RICE. a wing that looks too excessive OH THATS RICE. since when were body kits and wings ricey? to me thats just another persons style, not rice at all. i'm sure they think your "un-riced" car is too plain. but yet, those same people that call cars rice are the ones asking for the bulb numbers of every light in their car so they can switch them to Polarg or PIAA....exactly what those same cars that they just called "rice" have. just my observation and opinion.

All true, but you left out that ricers think that each sticker they slap on their whack looking ride adds 15rwhp........and also refer to a 75 shot of N2O as "The Big Shot"! :P

They also refer to The Fast & Furious as a documentary instead of a pure fiction action movie!
