I had a Honda too, but never thought of myself as a ricer. I had a 95 Accord Ex Bordeaux Red Pearl/ Grey Leather. I did not have an exhaust buy I did have a intake (DC Sports DAC), 18" TSW Hockenheim R's chrome, Neuspeed Race/KYB suspension, sidemarkers, clear front lenses and a Greddy Lip.

Ricer? hell I thought I was a PIMP with that car!! LOL

I never riced a car out but I thought like one for a while. I thought neon and loud paint was cool. . Damn Fast and the Furious. Thank goodness CL brought me back to my senses.

This is the closet the kid has ever come to RICE, DIY mesh grill and color matched trim, turn signals converted to daytime lights w/hyper whites in them, clear corners and tail lights painted candy red. I didn't think it was that bad

Seriously. None of you is a ricer.

I personally think that DIY mesh grill on the black Accord actually looks pretty decent.

In my area, the true ricers are those who cut corners, spent minimal amounts of money, and have no taste in modding their cars.

Examples are cars such as Accords, and Integras running around with cut springs, stock black spare rims, unpainted hood, unpainted fiberglass body kits that are all banged up, and a bunch of dings and dents on the car body.

Why would anyone want to make his/her car look like this? If I were in high school and do not have the money to make my Integra a magazine quality modified car, I'd rather keep it clean, stock, and maintain it well. At least you make yourself more presentable to people this way.
