One caveat: I have yet to see one IRL, BRZs with spoilers are rare around here - I may have to go to a meet just to see one as dealers don't have them.
It doesn't look riced out in person at all. Again, I can see someone not liking it (I think they could have done better myself, though I do like it), but the three things I most associate with ricers are incredibly low dropped cars, primer covered body kits, and huge wings. I've never heard of such a small wing called riced out.

It's all subjective, what's considered subtle and tasteful by one person can appear ricey to the next...

I get a kick out of the badge swaps from Toyota to Scion in other parts of the world. Everyone always wants what they can't have lol. I've still been thinking about putting the GT86 badge on the back of my BRZ though. $50 is just a bit much for a shiny plastic stamp.
