Default A question I must ask, its about "ricers"

Okay, so what do we clasify ricers as in the world of Lancers? Meaning, when I had a Z28 a ricer was all show no go, yet the owner thinking he was all show and all go. is that still the case or what? Some think just owning a lancer makes me a ricer, I do not. I feel any car can be a ricer, Z28, STi, Evo, Vette, even a viper! (thats harder tho) so what do you all think of when you say ricers?

I was in the interior section and saw it used many times.

Here is the definition of a ricer:

Ricer is a stereotype. The typical Ricer can be identified by his car, or rather what he does to it. Generally, Ricer will start out with a car that was not meant to go fast (typically a Honda Civic), and attempt to "fix it up," usually consisting of aftermarket rims, lowering springs and an aftermarket exhaust system with a large exhaust tip.

Most Ricer cars (or "Rice Rockets") have the usual complement of stickers proudly displaying features that the car might or might not have, most notably, the Honda VTEC sticker from the later model Preludes, and the plaques from the later model Integras.

Ricers do not exclusively drive Japanese cars. There are quite a few fake Mustang '5.0's and Camaro Z28's out there, as well as quite a few strange looking Neons.

ricer: about 80% of forign import cars (excluding german) that are built up with 'custom headers, CAI, and other various bolt ons, including huge exausts). these mods are done to make the car look and sound better, while doing little for preformance. they usualy have custom gagues that have no function, after market radios that bump louder than their exaust, and are front wheel drive cars. One thing that will definatly tell ya its a ricer is the wing in the back, it looks like they're planning on flying.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing to do some of these mods
