Me and a friend were driving around the other day, trying to think up some good names for these "Performance Shops" around town that cater to ricers only. I had a few ideas ... How about "Wings N Rice", or "NOS Izz Us"!
Down in New Orleans they had one called Sonic Boom. All the ricers go there and get stickers that cover the car(4 foot long). I am not sure if they do any real performance work, but they may.
Heh, I JUST saw one of those Sonic Boom deals for the first time yesterday. That Civic had the whole ricer sha-bang on it. His exhaust pipe was so big, I could've drove into it. I think there were some mid-size animals trapped in there too (or at least it sounded that way).
:lol: :lol:
More like 'Sonic Annoyance'
It's weird, because before I came to this forum I had never heard the term "ricer", and neither had anyone I knew. But NOW it's spreading, because I make sure I tell everyone I know what a ricer is, and why they're stupid. :lol:
I refer to all "performance" shops here by my made up ricer names.
BIG APPLE = BIG RICER
EDGE ROCKS = RICE ROCKS
CUSTOM SOUND AND WIRELESS = CUSTOM RICE AND RICEARONI

See the following parts vendors for blue LED washer nozzles, Mugen seatbelt cozies, euro style wheels with red anodized center caps, grille mesh, aluminum pedal covers, Japaneese symbol decals, colored wire wraps, and big chrome coffe can mufflers:

So far I've seen a mustang and a generic ricer with those 4ft side stickers that look exactly like "the fast and faggy" ricers.
Yeap, and the ones that say GOT RICE?? in 6 inch letter are worth a good 50 hp. Now lets not forget about the lights on the windshield washers. Those have to be worth another 20 hp. Now they even have lighted tire stem caps.
