Lowering by cutting springs and making own brackets.
Stick on Walmart auto vents, scoops, etc
Tribal graphics
Plasidipped lights
Lambo doors.


Not Rice
A bunch of stickers for parts you do have on the car.
Well fitted and finished brand name body kits and aero.
Any quality wing or spoiler on a car that actually hits a track where it can function as intended.
A well balanced and appropriate to use lowering suspension.
Properly installed and finished vents and scoops intended to force air or remove heat from modified engines.
Tribal graphics if you are still in 1998.
Properly tinted and DOT approved lights.
Lambo doors if you own a Lamborghini.


Notice the trend there?


If you are pretending the car to be something it is not then it is rice. If it can do what the parts claim it is not.


Key word is Pretending. Similar to a poser. Ricers = Posers


Like Brembo Caliper Covers.
