Grapefruit shooters. Ridiculous body kits (got mesh?). Airplane wings.

-Neon lights/blinking lights of any sort anywhere on the car
-wings (because they dont serve any purpose on our car, and IMO all of them look bad)
-A lot of the body kits that are out on the market right now
-Exhausts that have 3 inch tips, and when installed look all crooked
-decals/stickers of any sort
-any extra badges
-graphics
-any tint besides black or dark grey
-fake hood scoops
-huge ugly chrome rims
-hub cap spinners
-slammed cars with super tucked wheels

Anything that you add to a vehicle that is supposed to look like a performance part, that doesn't add any performance. Anything "weapon R" "apc" etc... Any lighting that doesn't enhance night time vision. Anything done half-___.

You read my mind.....

hey, I have 18" chrome wheels, but I dont think they are overkill though.

lambo door and carbon fiber every where is river rice for certain

The "performance" parts that don't add performance.
Performance part decals all over the car.
Belly-scraping lowering.
Wheels that stick out like roller-skate wheels.
Ink-black window tint all around.
Fart cans.
Flashing, dancing, strobing lights.
Anything that is "fashionable" but less functional than stock.
Driving position where the driver can barely peer over the window edges.
Most decorative - as opposed to functional - body kits.
Suspension where the only give is in the super-low-profile tires.
"Race cars" that have never and will never see a legitimate race.

(Yeah, I'm picky.)

What I consider rice on a tC:

- 95% of body kits
- Lambo doors
- Wings and most pedestal spoilers
- Large stickers/banners
- Most small stickers, though ok in small quantities that don't say anything ricey
- Mufflers that are not tucked in under the car
- Oversized single/dual muffler tips
- Neon paint
- Multi-colored paint (top one color, bottom the other, for example)
- Painted interior
- Painter parts under the hood (not all, but most look pretty ricey)
- Excess of gauges, even when there is really a turbo
- General attitude of the driver, rice: sitting as low and as far away as possible from the steering wheel, baseball cap on sideways, revving engine at stops (esp. an auto)
- Loud mufflers
- Aggressive driving in the city during traffic without skill (how often do you see some guy with a muffler in a Civic fly by you, cut you off without a signal, cut someone else off, also without signal, and then have you drive by him because they dove straight into the slow lane)

i can't believe no one has said clear tails, those are ricey as hell

jrv2000

probably because no one has done it on their car yet.

Every friggin car that has non-lexus (toyota) "altezzas" are ricey. Most disgusting is a jet black car with either clears or cheezy altezzas.

Also, windshield banners that advertise a make or model that is pretty obvious (i.e. a huge T O Y O T A banner on a Toyota, or a C H E V Y "bowtie" on a Cavalier or Truck).

On the subject of decals, the Calvin ____ing on whatever is pretty dorky, so are aftermarket accessory decals (APC or Injen or Weapon-R, etc...)

Fahrenheit

-Windshield banners
-Debadging, then putting a large graphic advertising the make or model on the car
-A sticker for every mod (unless you're sponsored, in which case it is excused but still ugly)
-Any sticker for a mod not actually on your car
-Damn near any sticker, come to think of it (small, single, and tasteful is the key)
-WINGS
-Altezzas/"Euro" Lights/Clear tails
-Taking the cheap way on anything (painted rims instead of powdercoating or buying colored, cutting the springs instead of buying proper lowering springs, etc.)
-Body-colored wheels under most circumstances (well-done black being an exception)
-If you bought it at AutoZone....
-Pastel/Neon/Day-Glo paint colors

And remember: every group of car guys has one guy whose car everyone makes fun of. If you can't figure out who it is, guess what?

Alot of this stuff you say is rice has been around long befor rice was even around.

jrv2000

Thats because it took a while to try and come up with a suitable term for this phenomenon.
