Origin
The use of the word "rice" refers to the fact that the vehicles the term was originally applied to were of Japanese origin, originated as a result of the heavy use of rice in East Asian cuisine, and grew out of muscle car enthusiasts' jokes that cars from Japan used engines powered by rice alcohol. The climate of the East Asian region provides optimal growing conditions for rice, and rice has historically been a staple food source in Japan and other Asian countries, and this word has associated itself with a racial group in the same way pasta is associated with Italians (e.g. using the term "pasta rocket" to describe Italian made sports cars such as the Ferrari or the Lamborghini). Recently, the term "American rice" or "domestic rice" has been used to describe American-made cars that have been aesthetically modified. Binomial name Oryza sativa L.

Drivers of rice burners are known as "ricers" or "rice boys". While some people claim "ricer" is an ethnic slur, this is not necessarily true. A possible exception would be if the individual referred to was of Asian descent, and the "ricer" term was applied because of this. The following is a list of ethnic slurs that are, or have been, used to refer to members of a given ethnicity (or in some cases, nationality, region, or religion) in a derogatory or pejorative manner. ... The term Asian in a geographical sense simply refers to something or someone from Asia. ...

Also many believe that the term "RICE" stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. refering to cars that are make to look fast with modyfications such as body kit, large chrome wheels, huge rear wing and a excessively lowered ride height.


Characteristics
"Ricing" (a term usually not used by the modifier himself) a vehicle is meant to emulate the work of independent automotive tuning companies who modify more than just appearance, and to give an appearance of greater ability than the car actually has. Ricing is generally looked down upon amongst people who actually modify the running parts of the vehicle itself, e.g. engine tuning. A custom engine swap with a tuned VTEC engine of a Honda Civic CRX Engine tuning is the modification or design of internal combustion engines to yield more performance, either in terms of power output or economy. ...

Common aftermarket modifications in this style, or "rice," can include: Aftermarket is an umbrella term for the collective network of vendors who design and sell vehicular components that are intended to replace the stock manufacturers parts in order to alter the appearance or performance of the vehicle. ...

Body modifications
aerodynamic-looking body kits
wings and spoilers that serve no useful function. With FF/FWD cars, for example, rear-end downforce helps very little. Also, the largest spoilers have very little effect until the car is driven at a very high speed.
carbon fiber hoods (sometimes fiberglass replicas made to look like carbon fiber)
excessively large rims (for example chromed, or "dubs") that often decrease acceleration due to higher rotational inertia
dual windshield wipers replaced with uniwiper.
improperly lowered suspension, such as stock springs shortened by cutting. This action is frowned upon by both seasoned tuners and spring manufacturers. Cutting springs may severely compromise safety and handling characteristics.
Aesthetics
bright paint or interior, frequently in contrasting colors
decals and stickers
for aftermarket parts not actually present on the vehicle
with the name of the car's model in a stylized font, usually covering the upper rear window
in kanji characters
excessive graphics that don't seem to "fit" with the car (i.e. side graphics, etc.)
badging from other higher performance vehicles (Honda's "Type-R" and Nissan's "GTR" being the most common)
a loud, free-flowing exhaust system with a large cylindrical resonator at the rear of the car (often referred to as a "fart can", "fart cannon", "coffee can exhaust" or "bee fart exhaust"). Some vehicles also sport dual-pipe catback exhaust systems with two exhaust tips.
Lighting
neon and LED lighting, such as lighted windshield washer nozzles, underbody neon lights, etc.
Euro-style taillights (also known as "altezza"-style lights or "altezzas")
Super-bright headlight bulbs (although most of these bulbs offer better lighting than conventional halogen bulbs), colored bulbs, often illegal, which are used for turning signals, side-markers, etc.
Unnecessary fog-lights and extra lighting units usually intended for off-roading vehicles.
Sloppy Workmanship
excessive areas of exposed primer a/or Body Filler (Bondo)
poorly fitted bodykits
car has any of the aforementioned modifications, yet looks like it's not been taken care of for a long time (dirty, parts of the car with smashed or dented bodywork, etc.)

It should be noted that not all automobiles displaying these traits are rice burners, nor are all merely cosmetic. Some drivers who opt to perform one or a few of these stereotypical ricer modifications to their car will argue that they did not intend to make their car appear fast in the first place; their goal was simply to dress-up the look of their vehicle for purely cosmetic purposes. However, some modifications by themselves are almost immediately labeled as ricing. For example, the large and loud exahust tip and/or dual cat-back exahust systems are synonymous with rice-burning, even if no other modifications are done to the car.

Identity crisis


A classic Identity Crisis, an Acura and a Type R badge on a Geo StormAn identity crisis can occur when an individual adds decals, badges or other identifiers from one type of vehicle onto another vehicle of the wrong type, or to a vehicle that does not contain the modifications or special attributes indicated by the accessory; examples could include an Impreza WRX sporting a VTEC sticker, or a Honda CR-X with a TRD (Toyota Racing Development) badge (or to use a common trend by some Toyota truck enthusiasts, eliminating "ota" would produce Toy Racing Development). Honda vehicles, as an example, can often be observed with examples of identity crisis between different versions of the same models, with Type R badges on sedan Civics (the Civic Type R is only available in hatchback form) and older Civics made before the Type R was available.
