"Riced Out??" "Ricer?"
John Smith
JS
Ricing out a car, while typically done to imports (thus the rice reference),
can be done to just about any car. All it takes is to give the illusion of
speed without actually having a fast car. Performance stickers for parts
you don't have. Large wings that would provide aerodynamic downforce only
at 170MPH and up on a stock 1985 Honda CRX with 200,000 miles on it. It's
grown to encompass anything gaudy or excessive done to a car that your
average 17 year old high school student would think looked cool. Also,
installing a cold air intake and an exhaust tip and believing that it will
actually add 25hp to your stock 130hp 4-cylinder.

what it's all about.

Its a derogatory term cagers use to discriminate verbally against people who
put clear lenses on their Civics, fart tip exhaust mufflers, and Japanese
characters, and then act like they have an Indy car.
Technically, the people who aren't discriminating, and there are a few, will
also refer to Mustangs in this manner, as in "riced Mustang", which, if they
are like the ones I've seen, are usually 6 cylinders with clear lenses, GT
stickers everywhere, spoilers, and in general look as bad as a ruined...I
mean riced...Honda.

Don't forget the rear spoilers that look like they were grafted on
from a 747's tail section. I've seen some rear spoilers that are just
laughably huge on import vehicles....

The nastiest looking spoiler I've noticed was on the back on a Viper this
evening, one of those yellow ARCA (?) jobs, the thing must have been a good
2 and a half feet off the rear deck.
But when you drive that particular car, I doubt if anyone will laugh if you
wanted to put even a LARGER one on.

That's them, but around here that would be considered a "small" wing.
I'm talking 747 size on the back of Civics, etc. I just about run
off the road laughing my ass off every time I see one of these
pathetic morons driving around...

I have seen chinese letters on a mustang before. It also had the
speed paint, the "training wheels", carbon fiber hood, single
windshield wiper. Looks asanine and a giant wing with a scaffolding
under it that fluttered in the wind as they drove down the road at 25
MPH. Pretty damn funny.
