From my interpretation, the term "rice" is usually applied to cars that have modified to look like race cars or simply just to get attentions, without any real performance to back up. Things like huge spoiler, tuner decals, coffee can exhaust tips, are common on rice cars. Then there're cars that look rice but have serious engine modifications to which I don't know whether to call them rice or not. The term rice also applies to the acts of trying to deceive others on what type of cars they actually are such as Type-R badge on a base model Integra with sunroof, or VTEC on 100HP-engine Civic, etc.
