And the designer of that poster is an idiot: plurals don't have apostrophes.

Basically cars with "show and no go" mods. The owners modify their cars to make them look fast, but have no actual performance benefits. Example would be civics with a large wing, or decals that don't belong on the car.

I thought you could use apostrophes for certain nouns (i.e. brands) as a weird contraction/plural device. Honda's = Honda cars.

RICE originally came from Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement or something to that effect, I do believe. Basically it was the stylistic "flair" stuff that people added to their cars for asthetics only with no real performance improvement.

I think it was miscontrued over time to mean vehicle that was Asian and tacky.
