Think of the term RICE as this:

Race
Inspired
Car
Enhancements

If term is applied loosely it can apply to most of us. If it is reserved for those who mod their car dumbly or ineffectively then it retains its negative connotation.

More contemporary use of the term rice burner, along with the prefix rice, has taken on an alternate pejorative meaning for an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities. This practice is in contrast to the "stealth" or "sleeper" style of automotive modification, where a vehicle may have major performance modifications, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model. In this manner, the appellation can apply to any vehicle regardless of country of origin. The most commonly modified cars are sport compacts, but the term can apply to any class of vehicle, including trucks.

In some circles, or even entire regions of the U.S., the term rice car is used exclusively to describe Asian-made vehicles, modified or not. However, as more types of cars began being used as a platform for modification, including German and American-made cars, use of the term rice is no longer restricted to Asian-made vehicles.

I wish I had pics, but I can tell you what they were the car that started this was a Grand Nat with a HUGE wing on the back, roof scoop, and those fake magnetic air ducts on the fenders you can buy on EBay, and after all that he had rally stripes painted on it and a jacked up rear end, now the straw that broke the camels back grapefruit shooter dual exhaust?!?! WTF lol Then the next one was Cougar silver looked really good with what looked like a old style dragon z body kit and lambo doors until I got closer and saw Mugen stickers next to Mopar stickers and the interior was loaded with anything and everything you can buy at auto zone Type R goodies, dual wiper blades, and LED lights everywhere even the hood
