A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
The cars listed don't automatically make them ricers. It's what's done to them. Her car is an Acura NSX, which is the American version of the Honda Civic DC5.
For example, this is an S2000 (the newer version of the Del Sol). Completely shaved engine bay, actually has the parts with the stickers and is 700 horsepower.
Race tuned Impreza
Race tuned Honda Civic DC5 (same body style as Kellie's)
And Nissan 350 which is crazy
And that pic you posted of Kellie was from the 3rd at Tuner Evolution.
OK, the del Sol and s2000 have nothing in common except they are 2 seaters. The s2k is a rear wheel drive car with some character. The del Sol is a piece of shit.
And I think that is a 370.
