I'm kinda thinking out here that "riced" is basically just stuff that doesn't add to your performance, and it's just done in poor taste instead of actually making the car better. I know this is going to make a lot of people mad, but "riced" is a term from late 90's early 2000's. "Stanced" is the perfect term to replace "riced" these days. Some of them look cool when they're parked, but it's done in poor taste a lot of the time and it does nothing for the performance of the vehicle. Might as well just get a body kit so the car looks lower but actually has clearance underneath.
I mean really, it's cool to take a picture of your stanced car when it's stuck going into a driveway? Come on. Low is cool, but stanced=riced.

I'm seriously dumbfounded by this car.
And in case someone views it late:
"1992 735i. 138,000 miles. Runs great, but dneeds work. Needs rear struts, drivers side back window dont go down and a few other minor things. Got too many cars cant afford to fix this 1. Text Chris at 3198469"
I think this defines "rice". Maybe if he spent less money on those tribal flames, and plastic hood scoop, he could afford new struts..
1986 325e - RIP
1987 528e - Sold
1989 325iX - Parted Out
1991 318iS - Sold
1991 325iS - Current

It isn't even fuhraze. Like, it honestly has no other purpose other than to be stupid quick and be absolutely retarded. If it looks ricey while doing that, than I'll have to live wid it, that's how it is

A couple weeks ago a guy I know referred to my car as "the German ricer" when he saw it sitting in my driveway. After I explained to him that my "ricer" kind of did a bit of motorsports, I asked him how many track days he had on his Audi S4 (zero).
whatever. Stickers are rice, so guess I'm guilty...

Funfgan, I wouldn't consider your car rice at all. You had a vision, and executed it.
For me rice is adding something to a car that the owner isn't exactly sure what value it drives to the car; whether that be an attempt at performance gains, or aesthetic gains. Typically, for upgraded replacement parts, the aftermarket rice product is of lesser quality than the worn OEM part that it replaced.
However, end of the day, the ricer guy is probably still happy with his intake, coffee can exhaust, strut brace on his rear wheels (without rear anti sway bar - I'm talking to you, every Honda guy out there)...He had fun, he won.
Funfgan's car probably gets a rise out of loads of people - part of the art of executing a vision.

But you're a hipster, so it's not rice, it's ironic.

Also, completely agree with your actual post.

Douchebags. Who the fuck has the right to tell you how you want to customize your car. Continue your vision with two middle fingers up. Honestly pisses me off how there are people in this world who key cars. /rant.87 ETA | Hibernating

White Rice
I see some lovely renditions of domestic rice from NH on my commute. One thing is for sure, these guys own it. DonutDan (vanity plate) and his Racing Sable, seem funny to me. The Escort owner looks like he thought he really had something going with all of that chrome trim - even on the glass of the rear window.
