Define:Ricer
From the Latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt.
A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term “rice”) to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don’t have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Body kit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A “performance intake”- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX’s and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therefore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
