"im scared of paying more for gas but hey i want to make my car look FAST!" -.- i'd like to give them the honor of shoving thier heads up thier ass -.- yes i've seen it, UGH its as ricer as u can get. now dont get me wrong, when we talk about a fit, its a WHOLE different ball game lol
Like the one ricer-spoof said, "If you polish the headlights, you'll get an extra 5mph!"
As far as "shoving their heads up their ass"...you've seen HANCOCK, the movie!

"Ricer" to me means a few different things, and I agree everyone's definition is different.
1) The car is from South-Eastern Asia, mainly Japan. The word is "rice", because well... you get it right? There are some non-Japanese ricers out there (as seen in tons of V6 Mustangs aka rice-stangs) etc, but mainly, ricers are honda, toyota, kia, nissan, etc etc by breed.
2) Tons of "mods" which don't end up making a fast car. Some of these can be "functional", others are just plain ugly, some can even be in good tastes, but at the end of it your car is still a dog, it's prolly a ricer mod.
Case in point:
$30,000+ Mugen Si gets it's ass handed to it by a bone stock $23,000 Cobalt SS.

The Cobalt SS's supercharged Ecotec engine collaborated with an excellent gearbox to charge down the straights with authority. The result was a maximum speed of 117.1 mph and a lap time of 3:20.6 — four to five seconds quicker than the other front-drivers, the GTI and the Civic.

rice: when you buy things to make your car look faster that have no performance or functional gain. examples-Chroming anything on your car or bike that didn't come chrome. Leave chrome for domestics and classics. Altezza Lights- Unless your car is an altezza, altezza lights are rice. Neon shift knobs, license plate holders, and glow wires is also rice. Anything you change that makes a car actually uglier, or decline in value or performance, is ricey. Putting civic badges and racing stripes on an escort, ricey. Stupid low offset to where your wheels hit your fenders and dent them- Beans and Rice, because its always the mexican cars with 14inch wheels stuck out 2x as far as the fender. and I know a lot of people like vinyl on cars, but most vinyl on cars, especially fake carbon fiber or chrome, is super ricey. Cutting your springs, rice. Ricing a car is making it more ghetto than its current state.

Guess I'm old school, or just old.
But there is hardly anything I dislike seeing more than chrome door bumper $hit!
(EDIT: No offense intended! The Blazer has chrome door bumper $hit on it ; )
