Well first off im sorry if the topic is in the wrong forum and if it is then can a mod move it to the proper one? Anyways the question is, what defines a ricer? is it just people hating on another guys car? is there traits? how to prevent from becoming one?

Answers are much appreciated and please take the topic seriously.

 

pretty much putting anything thats real tacky or ridiculous on or in your car, how to prevent or to not become one, try to go for a nice clean look.

 

ok so basically by adding stuff to your car as in not performance-wise makes you a ricer?

 

here's what i can think of on top of my head. someone or a civic that has euro taillights, chrome wheels or trims, huge fart cans, unpainted body parts, huge unaligned body kits, cut springs, neons, stickers all over the car, huge pointless spoilers, fake hood scoops. pretty much any parts that sticks out too much and pointless fake mods

Modifying a car in generally poor taste qualifies someone as a ricer. Also, driving an economy car like it's a purpose-built race car also qualifies someone as a ricer, regardless of what their car looks like.

"Rice" isn't just a way of modifying a car, it's also a mentality.

For modifying a car, "rice" is basically anything that appears to be functional, yet lacks the actual functionality. For example, body kits. Originally, body kits were designed to aid in aerodynamics; now, body kits are designed purely for looks, and in most cases are not only more fragile than the stock body components, but increase the coefficient of drag if anything. Also, poorly matching color schemes are also another way to rice out a car, as are unnecessary (and usually tacky) lights. Excess chrome almost always looks terrible, as do "too large" wheels.

Another version of rice (though not nearly as hard on the eyes) is "hard-parking", which is basically having a car that looks like it was built for the track (aero modifications, aggressive alignments, etc), but never actually racing the car. The greater part of the enthusiast community is guilty of hard-parking.

 

 

Oooooh the pictures definitely help as well as the last posts . Now i know what not to do in terms of looks . Thank you everyone!!!

 

fart can's without the real exhaust, stickers of performance companys all over the car, huge non functional scoops, wings on fwd cars, ugly lights in general, racing all around the place(on streets where it is dangerous), bragging about a car that has no *****
