I am so sick these days of the term "ricer." The people who say this call every car a "ricer" without a better glance. Why am I saying this? Because it happened to me today.
While at Ceasar's Palace, I saw a car that looked like a ricer. Well, upon further inspection, I was proven wrong. This car had an unpainted body kit, stock wheels on the back, and a strange spoiler. There was no front bumper. I thought total ricer, until I decided to talk to the 23 year old owner. After he opened the hood of his Toyota Celica (old model), I was proven wrong. The engine was completly modified. Everything was modified to a somewhat extent. Brakes, suspension, and everything was tuned. I asked why the outside looks ricey, and he replied to me a very important saying.
"Because a car looks like rice, doesn't mean it is." He told me he just started on modding the exterior the car. I asked how much horsepower he had, and an astonishing sheet of paper, which looked like one from a dyno, showed 412 horses.
This is much more than a typical Celica of his model.
So why am I posting this? Because people need to understand the REAL term of Ricer.
Ricer is - A car made to look fast with very few performance upgrades. But it seems the wrong definition is what everyone goes by. A car with crazy modifications.
Well guess what. A car can have as much crazy ass exterior modifications as it wants. It can look like this.

Yeah, 1st look, this looks like a ricer. But if this Civic is running 600 horses, I don't care what you say, its NOT a ricer. Its a fast car with QUESTIONABLE MODIFICATIONS.
That's why I applaud that thread for that title.
I know, its rare to see a ricer-looking car with a great amount of performance modifications, but remember, it is possible to see one.
So please, remember that that car with a strange exterior modded car can look like ricer, but as long as it has a great amount of performance modifications, it'll be a car with Questionable Modifications.
Thank you.
