Can somebody give me a succinct definition of a "ricer"?
The term "ricer" has been used in a derogatory sense on this board, and yet I still don't have a clear idea of what constitues one. Is it someone who
a) drives a heavily modded import compact?
b) specifically drives a Honda Civic with aftermarket exhaust and body kit?
c) drives anything but an Evo?
Help me out here, please. I don't want to someday unwittingly find myself in this less than complimentary category.

Someone who puts performance aftermarket parts or items intended to look "fast" on a car that was never intended to be fast in the first place.
Mostly import or compact domestics, but I have seen mustangs and camaros that I would consider "ricers"

Pretty much if you dont want to be a ricer, dont touch the exterior/interior of your car, and do all engine mods, but on the 3g eclipse, its hard to make them fast.

A ricer is someone who has a:
-5 inch exhaust fart canister that doesn't make power and sounds annoying
-ugly body kits that dont' fit right and painted different colors or primered gray
-cheese shredder rear wing that is big enough to fit on an airplane
-Aftermarket Altezza clear tail lights
-Stickers from after market companies you don't even have parts from
-Stickers from different car companies "ex: a Type R sticker on a Toyota Celica, a VTEC sticker on a Nissan
-Boat load of stickers on your car when it only runs the 1/4mi in 18.5@78mph
-Neon windshield washer nozzles
-Anything APC
Just watch the movie Fast and Furious and you'll get the idea.
