I hope this is rice. Its my old car that I did from about 19 to 21 or so, give or take a year.
Was it rice? It had some of the top things on it, custom paint, body work, Wide body, bride seats, CF headliner etc. IS it rice? Wait, how ricey is it?
Don't worry new G will be wild too.

And yes, a European car or an American car that is modded looking cheap and cheesy is rice too.

Rice had to start somewhere. It did not just appear out of no where and became Rice.
Lets start at the beginning.
First there was a car.
Then began a process of pimping the car.
In this proses engine was modified which made it sound better
With more power there was a need to improve braking of the car
and with more power the suspension and aerodynamics of the car were needed to be improved.
But then. Bunch of kids who don't have money to do it right decided that instead of improving engine performance and as a result getting great sound out of it they would just put a huge exhaust on it.
Instead of putting better brakes on the car they would just put caliper covers on.
Instead of getting kits that actually improve aerodynamics of the car and handling they would just get some gay **** from ebay and call it a day.
Instead of improving suspension of the car they just clamp or cut the springs, making a JUMPER out of the car and brag to all that now it's lowered and handles better.
So in My opinion.
RICE is everything that is done to the car that does not improve the car.
It could be the exhaust system that most of us put on their Gs to improve the sound.........in most cases loosing the power.............What did you improve there?..............RICE
Cold Air Intakes that we put on our Gs using some cheep **** pipes and filters and put them all the way on the ground assuming that it sucks in cold air and forgetting about dust and water that is down there..................RICE
And much much more stuff.
Some rice things are well tolerated. They are not that bad. If done with taste they could even pass for none rice.
Every show car (import show car) is RICE
cuz this is what rice is. It's talk but no walk. It's bling. Useless mods that do absolutely nothing to improve the vehicle.
But they sure look DAMN NICE. And that's what they are. Show improvements. BLING, RICE.

I guess thats a ricer as well?

Anything under 70 can't really benefit from a wing, and I believe anything under 60 doesn't really benefit from a spoiler... something like that. But I'm sure you do need all that downforce back there when you're driving 140+ in traffic on the freeways in your street car...
