To most people on this board, it is considered to be something you do to your car to make it look faster than it actually is. Like.... installing a 5" tach when your engine is completely stock, or throwing a VTEC sticker on the back of your car when you don't even drive a Honda! I, personally consider rice to be something that is done very half-assed, like cutting your springs to lower your car, or spraypainting your interior to change the color, rather than wrap it in vynil. I also consider a car to be rice when the owner wastes their money on worthless crap like windshield washer L.E.D.'s when they could've saved up just a bit more and gottensomething worth while to put on your car.
