You can take a slow car, put decent looking wheels on it and suspension. Not rice.
Take that same slow car, and put on a body kit (a distasteful one), painted or not: rice.
Rice is really interpreted differently by everyone.

Now I thought the original definition was ghetto modified import... but now that american cars have taken the same road, its ghetto modified car. And what I mean by ghetto modified is unpainted body kits, kits that don't even fit the car, kits that don't flow with the car (boxy style car with curvey kit/spoiler), gutted daily drivers, 2 rimz w/ 2 steelies, etc... and ricers are those who think that their cars are hot **** and faster than every other car because they slapped an intake on their car or put on a muffler tip.
I am trying to get outta the habit of saying rice because to me it has no meaning anymore... does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
