Why look it up? You provided it.

More contemporary use of the term rice burner, along with the prefix rice, has taken on an alternate pejorative meaning for an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities.

spoilers on a GS definitely qualify for "impression of high performance" without having the capabilities.

 

i have a 2002 maxima with vkool tint all around and it looks green...



does it look exotic? lol

 

^ oh 2002 with 2001 tails????
what exhaust is that?

 

yah it's a 2002 with the 01 se tail lights. i didn't like the chrome ones that came with the car =/ my exhaust is stock, i just got some magnaflow tips on them...i actually came on here a couple years back and bought a g35 sedan stock muffler wanting to put it on my car...never had a chance to do it tho haha

 

how does a lip spoiler give an impression of high performance? VIP cars are all about looks, and they all drive slow.

 

So your saying my G35 is rice because it has a spoiler on it?

 

man come on! get outta here with that bull. you dont know what your talking about. your comments speaks for itself

 

Hey, I'm just reiterating what others have provided.

You guys do know spoilers were invented to create downforce at high speeds, right? Not to "look cool."

Did I ever use the word "rice"? Nope.
But if you look at the definition that Aaron provided, spoilers are rice. Not my definition, mind you. So I think you need to argue with each other, not me.

your comments speaks for itself

Again, not really my comments. Just putting together information from others. I didn't post the GS with the spoilers, nor did I post the definition stating that spoilers are rice. I just put the 2 together to point out the contradictions being posted here.

 

Ridiculous...

 

haha that shyt looks soooo stupid

 

Now that's what I call slammed

Here are some of those definitions... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rice

 

So a little lip spoiler provides down force for the car? Could you explain that to me please Qbrozen? Just curious.

 

Why is it that noone mentioned the tint on that car is NOT green. The silver GS shown does not have green tint. It is just reflective tint instead of the traditional black film. REflective, or mirror tint is what some call it. The green is from the trees in the back or something but the film itself isn't green and it doesn't even look remotely close to green. FAIL for being color blind haha.

 

Here ya go:

But don't confuse what I originally stated. I stated why spoilers were originally invented. They are now often used for decorative purposes, instead.

Now, keep in mind, I never said all spoilers are "rice." According to the definition posted by Aaron, they are (if read literally). However, I'd lean more towards some of those Urban Dictionary definitions that refer to cheap looking add-ons, 3-foot wings on FWD vehicles, etc. But at some point, it does become subjective, of course.
