What makes a Ricer a Ricer?

[PandaMoneyYum]

Do you guys consider the 240 sx a ricer?

What do you think makes a ricer a ricer?

Please don't flame I'm completely new to automobiles.:newbie:

[roboticnissan]

Im a ricer.

I have a sticker bombed wink mirror, a fat whale tail, isis blast pipes and a bubble shift knob

[usdm180sx]

The 240sx is a car. A car is not a ricer. Didn't you watch Tokyo Drift? It's da ryde, nawt da ryder

Lol an oddly enough he's been a member since January and this is his first post

But to answer ur question op, pretty much anything that looks straight outa f&f 1&2, and dirty knockoff wanna be "autozone" specials like ppl mentioned before... Think giant metal wings and fart cans on a civic with altezza lights, basically all that shit that became über popular right after f&f #1 came out

[Darren]

any 99 cent upgrade that screams "hey look at muh kewl ride bro"

This, however, i'd take it one step further and say it's not always the cheap "upgrades" that make a car ricey... There's a lot of rice in the implementation also.

You can have legit items being used to make a car ricey when the car as a whole just becomes too much...

[Endurance Motorsports]

"Ricer" refers to the driver. I usually attribute it to the people that act like idiots, try to "40 roll" everyone they see, and think doing burn outs everywhere is cool even though they have to hold the brake to accomplish it. In short, it's the immature mentality.

Ricing a car out, to me, is a lot of what's mentioned above. :lol:

I believe the originality and individualization is great so even if I don't like the way a car is particularly done, I can appreciate it the effort in it so I don't jump to "ricer".

[blueshark123]

Just check out the rice thread in off topic. if you still don't have your answer hang yourself. Then god will tell you what a ricer is. He's like Google he knows everything.

I think rice is when you try to make a car something that it is not. For example.... STI badge on a WRX. Or it is when modifications are half-assed....rice.

[Brian]

bright paint, aftermarket muffler exhaust, tinted windows, racing decals, lowered ride stance.

all ricer.

[badbob2121]

^^^I dont see how having tinted windows or having an aftermarket exhaust is "ricer" ...

Oh, and one must not forget, racing stripes with a hoard of sponsor stickers. top it off with an excesively bright paint job and neon green painted interior, and you sir have got yourself a Race inspired cosmetically enhanced vehicle.

[dsastr_clan]

everyone just gives examples of what they think is rice, but everyone fails on the fundamentalist explanation for the subject

[usdm180sx]

Ricer: A person with extremely low self esteem and poor taste in modifying a car. Examples include modifications that are purely cosmetic and do not enhance the performance of the car but try to make people believe that they do. These ricers cannot afford real performance modifications. If a ricer does have money then they have poor self esteem because they they cannot get laid. Either way, ricers constantly have to "prove" that they are cool by revving their motors, doing burnouts and other stupid exhibitions of speed to gain acceptance.

[thizzen4]

tires that stick out more then 3 inch , huge roof wings that are same color as car , fart cans ,the 6 rear view mirrors ebay parts , gross hood scoops , honda emblems ;) and mis match tint straight ricer/burrito

what the hell is it with the word "brah" lately. been all over the threads and that shit sounds dumb.

[nekrodev]

Any flashy car that looks fast but is slow as a turtle.

This has been pretty much what I've always held as the definition. Same thing basically as 'anything from fast and furious 1 or 2'.

If a car is legitimately quick, I'd not call it rice, just ugly.

I disagree with these... These are just a matter of style and can be done tastefully. Just because you like other styles, doesn't make the other person wrong or a ricer.

Spacers- Make the car look better overall, even if on stock wheels
Aggressive wheels/pulls- this can be pulled off rather nicely, but you're right some of that shit looks retarded.
Bubble shifter- again, a matter of preference/style
sticker- maybe people like or follow this websites.... so? (i hate seeing them, but doesn't make it rice)
roof racks- unused ones=rice
rusted body-how the fuck is this rice??

imo rice is gaudy multi color body kits, underglow, parts that just look rediculous and look like they cost a few bucks, non-functional rediculous wings (obviously not stock ones), people acting like their car is fast when it has 170hp, half ass work on your own car, spray painting body panels (there are exceptions), and "race" part that was put on a car for looks instead of performance, the list goes on and on.....

Edit: You'll know when you see it... and if you don't, chances are you're probably a ricer

-i'm talking about 50mm+ spacers because people are too dumb/cheap to buy wheels that fit.
-key word is OVERLY. the z33 crowd are the main offenders of this one.
-bubble shifters are just :hey:
-those stickers are all over try-hard's cars. yes, they have become rice
-get a truck or suv if you need to haul shit around
-again, key word is PARTS (or panels) ex: hoods, doors, fenders etc. how is that not rice? tacky as hell.

again, i'm talking about nu-rice, which is distinctly different than the classic vatozone accessory rice. this is on a whole new level of bandwagon try-hard-ness.

[HellaFlushSRs13]

Okay can someone please tell me what the hell is the deal with the roof racks and why so many people are jockin em hard? Is that like the new in thing? Rims, suspension, and roof rack? It's like everytime I drive through the bay i see some honda boy with a roof rack covered in stickers. At first I thought it was strange and random but then I started seeing em like literally all over the place

[3411]

A ricer is some one who isnt on the band wagon

Roof racks have been in VW and Honda "culture" forever... i think the current trend of Honda & VW owners changing to Nissan owners has inadvertently brought that with them.

IMO the only cars that look 1/2 way decent with a roof rack are 1950 - 1968 VW Standard Beetles with a wood slat roof rack.
