I'm a male in my late-20's, and even though many of my peers are into the "ricing" scene, I simply cannot see the appeal. What makes ricing a car so desirable? Was ricing popular even before Fast & the Furious (circa 2001)?
Most riced-up cars look classless with the super high spoilers, crazy paint colors, angled wheels, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think women dig riced-up cars.
Let's be honest - a 1996 Civic still looks outdated, even if it is riced up.
Even nicer, newer cars that are riced up (e.g. a blacked out Acura TSX or Nissan Maxima)
I'd assume riced cars are targeted by cops.
I apologize for the stereotype, but ricers tend to be pretty obnoxious on the road (e.g. constant tail-gating) and the drivers look low-life'ish.
Don't get me wrong - to each their own. However, I never understood the culture.
I think it is stupid. I cannot stand seeing the ricer mufflers and hearing them. They are just as bad as donk cars and jacked up trucks.
or hacked up low riders. but who am i to denigrate someone who wants to customize their car as they see fit? i plan on customizing my cars when i get them, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt, depends on what fund i have available.

What's your definition of "riced", because I see nothing wrong with a blacked out TSX or Maxima, (black car, tinted windows, dark/black wheels)
Is it because they're Japanese cars??

I guess my definition of riced is broad.
Last week, I saw someone with a green Civic from the 90's with a jacked up spoiler, angled tires, I think the rims were dipped in orange, etc. It looked ridiculous.
On the other hand, I have also see blacked out (defined as tinted windows, blackened chrome trims, tailpipes, everything), low riding "nice/modern" cars that have emblems taken off, big wheels that don't necessarily fit the car, etc. Perhaps this type of customization doesn't fall into the "riced" category, but nevertheless, it seems to devalue the class of the car.
The pinnacle of ridiculous rice, IMO, is the super high spoiler where the material and the color tint doesn't match that of the car itself.
Bascially they are just looking for hopped cars like we did in the early 60's ;but they do not have 57 chevy or chevy performance parts any more. In time they might be opening the truck to show their batteries;LOL.
