I guess being owners of big, bad American truck with a V8 means we have to avoid at all costs mods that make us "look rice". I just want to make sure I know what they are.

Rice Car
Any cheap car, especialy Asian, that has been "upgraded" with after-market parts(exaust, body kits, nitrous, spoilers, speakers, lights, etc...)in an attempt to make it faster and/or "pimpin".
In reality, instead of making a car better, "ricing it up" makes it utterly and completly gay. Rice cars are easily beaten in races by American and European sports cars. Also, anyone who owns a rice car is looked down upon and seen as shameful by non-ricers. Rice cars are typically driven by young lower and middle class Asians, Hispanics, whiteboys and even some African Americans.
My GTO has a 400 hp engine factory. All it does is beat up on ricers all day long.
Ricers beware!!!!

To me its this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ricer or this http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ricer

I think there is a fine line between nicer mods and ricer mods. I havent seen a member here in the 3rd Gen Dak Section with a ricerish truck yet.

If your exhaust sounds like a man farting through a trumpet, youre probably a ricer.

As for looks, the obnoxious spoiler always screams ricer. Silly ricers, useless wings are for penguins!

There is alot of nice cars around here. There is a honda group that runs around and all their cars and clean and slick. Then you got the ones where the car is half matt black with dents and a fart can that sounds like a thousand bumble bees, and the sound makes it sound so fast but in reality he's going 30 haha.

Bolt, what about the dude with the HUGE scoop and green flames. that truck was ricer-ish to me.

I dont think there is much that these trucks have that can be made "rice"


If its your truck and you like whatever you did... who cares if someone thinks its ricey? I have a Talon with a 3 inch exhaust that certainly sounds like a fart can... Its ricey. But its also eating new SS camaros and GT mustangs. Its my little rice cooker.
