The definition of rice?

[Nikked]

Rice has been used beyond its meaning way too many times.

My knowledge of it was that the term "Rice rockets" was a synonym of "Jap crap", so anyone that was a genuine muscle car fan could describe them as that. (MonoJoker was also correct)


Then It moved on to the acronym "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" Where any thing that makes a car (stock, or "not powerful enough" look fast is ‘rice’, weirdo:

Now its used for just about any thing (now just a term for distasteful mods), large wheels on a XY, I’ve seen it called 'rice'? (Even people have called the wheel options on the FG 'rice' : ) Bulge on a XR6 'rice'? Fibreglass 'rice'? :

Half the things that people pick on about cars having 'rice mods', would be like calling a custom merc 'rice'

Personally i hate the term because it’s fairly stupid, now people just use it to describe something they don’t like with out any thought of intelligent constructive criticism. Not taking into acount shifts in tends and what not.

(like neons, sif they are 'rice', they have been used in customs and Vans for over 20 years!)
