Here's a simple rule of thumb:

1) Does it make your car go faster?

2) Does it add anything that others might point at and laugh?

If no to the first and yes to the second, then it is rice.

If yes to both, then borderline rice.

If yes to only the first question, then it is not rice.

By the rule above, underbody neon glow = RICE

I also understand that they take up a ton of power that could be powering useful things such as your headlights and taillights, and they are also quite fragile. With the gravel on the roads here in AZ (they use gravel in place of grass as landscaping, so there is pink gravel EVERYWHERE) a set of neon underbody lights probably wouldn't survive a weekend.
