Lol. These are good.


I did the same thing last year. http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/showt...=Ricer+Excuses

[sgtpruitt]

when you think your fg or fa is jdm, ever.

[3pac2k6]

added a few more to original post

[TJ213]

lol, so many of those are true, but the dual exhaust definatly isn't

[Skylinegtr06]

if you question your riceness your already rice

[eh_civicracer]

those things are funny. all of the people on 8th civic that modify their car has some of those things done. once your car is modified it is considered rice. i say this because modding cars came from asians. that's why people call it rice. black rims, black rims with chrome lips, and any other color rim that is not oem is considered rice. i am asian and everytime a person says rice about another persons car kind of gets me mad. rice mods are black rims, black rims with red lips, cheap fake 150 buck add-ons, fake so called jdm fog lights, fake aftermarket projectors, fake aftermarket taillights, and under sized rims. thoses are real rice mods. all the other mods that was stated by the OP was brought by other ethnic groups, so it is not considered rice mods. quit saying rice if the mods are not asian mods. i take the word rice as a racial slurr. Just like if your not black you can't say the n word, or proch monkey.
