Yes and no. If the mods support the performance of the car, its not rice. Say you (for whatever bizarre reason) have a Nissan Sentra that is twin turbo'd making 400 hp. You get a body kit to fit wider tires with thinner sidewalls to give the car more grip in the corners. You install a rear spoiler to improve the cars balance. The various holes and ducts help to keep everything cool. Its covered in stickers because those are the folks that sponsored your build.
Visually, many would consider it to be rice but since all those mods actually serve a purpose I don't think it qualifies as rice anymore. That is of course assuming that its not all carboard and duct tape, and the 'turbo chargers' are more than just hair dryers painted silver.
tis a fine line ...
