Unfortunately, a lot of people that don't like something, they categorize it as rice.

This is just about as ricer as it gets to me.
rice = performance inspired cosmetic mods that are usually poorly executed and have no functional aspect to them. Ugly body kits. Huge (non-functional) wings. Rubber band tires. Obnoxious 'fart can' exhaust. These are all examples of 'rice'.

While I don't like aftermarket Lambo doors (I only tolerate them on actual Lamborghinis), there was never any performance aspect to them so I can't think of them as rice, despite being popular with ricers. On the other hand, applying black vinyls to the 'gills' of the Camaro to make them look like brake ducts ...

That's even worse. It's one thing to be a ricer in high school, but another when you can afford real muscle and continue to do rice by choice.

i do not hate on them. i actually think its funny. gives me something to talk about and a reason to point and laugh.

it happened today. had my car out of the shop after washing it and some hondo rolls in picks some guy up next store. when he took off he got on it. he chirped second o wow CHIRPED. and the best part was he barely passed the street light he was in front of. hahahaha

i would line up but my problem would be no traction of the line. but the difference between his car and mine i have the POWER not acting. lol

I used to have an RSX-S. They aren't bad little cars. 2.0liter 200hp in a light car. And that car is far from "rice". Everything looks tastefully done to me

Yea i was kidding. I really like his car. He doesnt go to pep boys and buy his part lol. He is the one that spends like 4k on rims to sell them in 1 year for 3k. So its his choice. Right now he actually has CCW's and not volks. But i cant seem to get a pic of those up right now. I am going to try.

I agree. That's a tuners car not a ricer. Pretty clean set up. I've said it over and over. Rice is not limited to imports only. It's a style that can be applied to any type of car both foreign and domestic.

Sorry, I dislike ricers too but your brothers RSX seems clean and tasteful. It's just when guys roll around in sh!tboxes and think their cars are fast. My buddy supercharged his RSX-S and it was fairly peppy.

that rsx looks clean not riced up, no overly done bodykit whatsoever.

The razi kit on the camaro is borderline ricer IMO
