Love this thread. It's a bit skewed towards Japanese imports, though. There are plenty of BMW ricers as well.

At its core, ricer is any aftermarket mod that makes your car more obnoxious than it should be. The threshold for whether it's more obnoxious than it should be or it's just "aggressive" is, as with anything, in the eye of the beholder.

Honda DID invent vtec though. In the 80s they developed it on their F-1 cars.

I always associated "ricer" with obnoxiously modified Japanese cars; not just cosmetic though. Hence the use of rice for an Asian manufacturer. This reasoning overlaps with the term "rice rocket" in the sportbike world.
