im probably about as ignorant as you are about cars....its a work in progress and its my girls car...i just do all the work on it im quite sure your car didnt start out in a perfect custom condition...everyone starts somewhere thats where shes starting...either way it will be custom just like every other honda civic owner in the world...shes going for looks not speed....and from what i know and where im from....ricers are anyone and everyone in the import scene...it was a term started by the domestic boys because all the "ricers" were kids who attempted to race japanese cars against them a loooooooong time before the gay and the furious came out....you should really visit an area highly populated by japanese...closest i came was hawaii and every japanese kid i saw weather they had all motor civics or body kits with bi- level wings all considered themselves ricers....:-D...so join the club rice boy you drive a honda and race it ur as much rice as everyone else :-D
