What's on your mug?

An Asian car modified to look fast without going fast. Including but not limited to, exhaust tip (not exhaust or cat back), rims, bodykit, cardboard, tape, glue. Ricers do go into the the territory of hoopties. However hoopties are a much worse case. DOES NOT apply to American or European cars as RICE originated in Asia. Any American car that meets the descriptive definition of a Ricer is considered automatically a hooptie.

- A 1999 Honda Civic with the bumper falling off and tints farts by- Man 1 - "RICER!"

By Crazybmws

A person with a horrendously funny confusion between style and substance. Not all ricers are fuckwits, the ones who get their Civic DX and put 20"s and lawnmower exhausts on them are.

Ricer: Civic DX, complete with fart pipes, neon lighting, completely stock engine, and 8000 decals including a Ralliart one and a Mugen one next to each other. Non-painted aero kit. Not a ricer: twin-turbo RX-7, with modest rear wing, 16" alloys and good tires. No aero kit. Maybe a limited-slip. Non-audible blow-off valves on turbo. No carbon-fiber to be seen. Good-sounding exhaust REALLY not a ricer: 1955 Willys-Overland Pickup, 35" BFG M-T'S, Mercruiser 350, NV4500 5-speed, true 4WD, Detroit lockers.

The current definition of this term is anyone who thinks he/she's increasing the performance of his/her car but is actually uglifying it as well as reducing it performance. Sometimes, this word is mistakenly used to refer to a tuner.

Example of a ricer: Owns a Honda Civic with a GTR badge on the gas tank cover, a big bodykit that actually increases drag and thus decreases performance, an exhaust that almost eliminates back-pressure and thus decreases performance, stickers everywhere, a really tall spoiler that gives the car more drag and thus reduces performance, huge chrome rims, thin tires which don't have a very long life, added weight (audio systems, the bodykit, the huge spoiler, etc.), bottles of "NAWWS", etc.

UK Definition: A teenage boy who just passed his driving test. Now drives a Fiat Punto, Peugeuot 106 or Vauxhall Astra and shouts 'Ere bei's, look at my backbox!' that has more plastic on it than the contents of a "Toys 'R' us" and more lighting than wembley stadium. Can generally be seen late at night in your local high street or multi-storey car park revving engines, making noises like an old person snoring through a megaphone, with girls sitting in the passenger seat who have applied their make-up with a brick-layers trowel or sneezed in their make-up box.

"Look at this ricer in a 1.2 Nova. Looks like he's just crashed into a halfords"

One who puts a TYPE R sticker and/or an upside down Acura badge oh his/her honda civic. One who can fistfuck his/her exhaust pipe. One with a double decker spoiler on a front wheel drive, automatic, 120HP asian family vehicle.

usually those who wear abercrombie or something like Ecko or people with condoms on their heads (some call them "dough-rags")
