SHOWOFF,
Like your nick suggest, you are simply a showoff, hence, ricey products best suits your driving style.

Sorry bro but an Auto Exe body kit is hardly rice. Tein springs are not rice.

I have been to Bondurant school 2 times, and I have also attended Road Atlanta.

I know how to drive.

Your comment is RICE. Come on now, get a little more creative. You've got to do better than that.

Is this you?

Nice picture. I'm not a big fan of the front end (to me, it makes the 8 look like a Z), but to each his/her own.

Which, for the 3rd or 4th time is all that matters.

If anything I think the kit is a bit understated :D

Somewhere on another forum I've seen a link to a guy selling a fake blowoff valve sound kit. It's a bullhorn looking speaker thing with an electronic module that goes "PSSSSSHHH!" really loud when you shift. I'm not making this up.

I always heard the term used as rice burner and is related as a term of chinese or foriegn cars that are cheap and plastic may have stickers that are accociated with performance parts but have none of the actual equipment in them.
May include.
5 inch exhaust tips with stock exhaust
shitty tuning
lots of fake stick on attachments e.g. hood vent, sport antenna
fake gauges or gauges for stupid things but look like boost gauges

I consider it a mod or performance part that serves no purpose or is self defeating. Things like:
A gigantic wing on a car with a top speed of 85mph.
Loud obnoxious exhaust on a car with no performance potential.
A body kit that isnt painted or fits really poorly.
Rims fitted poorly and/or so big that the car is less drivable.

yea..stuff like that...

Still cant get into my brain how these guys can be so cheap... Plain example where this phrase comes into play "if you are going to do a crappy job, just dont do it at all"

It goes on a case by case basis. I'm sure a guy with a Terminator Cobra thinks my car is rice (that would explain why they keep doing flyby's at me). I once saw a beat up old Civic that had his DRUM brakes painted red. Not even bright red, more like mahogany or rust red.

There's actually a car on my base that would fit this thread perfectly. I'll see if I can find it and snap a pic. Its bad.

Rice comes from rice burner which started as a derogatory term thrown at the JDM automotive market upon it's entry into the us market. it has evolved into a derogatory term we throw at each other to justify our own shitty modifications. ex. "That dudes spoiler is f****** rice, man dude guy" mike b, i personally don't like the fenders or hood on your civic, but i appreciate the time, effort, and love you put into it. you didn't spray paint your car (i've done this... long story) you didn't piece together your **** poorly. overall i wouldn't designate it as rice. i've owned civics. i've done some ricey ****. but the fact that it was in the 11's usually shut up anybody who had anything to say about it.

Edit: ANYONE who puts a 200 mph test proof spoiler on a 120 mph car with no intention of ever making it that fast, does not have my blessing, regarless of the time money and effort spent on the park bench
