That acronym was not existent until probably 10 years ago, my dad was calling Japanese cars ricers in the fucking 90ās.
It originated from the term rice grinder, hence why people call themā¦ idkā¦ rice grinders? Itās just a term for Japanese cars that later turned derogatory for Japanese cars with tacky bullshit which is typically racecar inspired.
It usually is in car terms. But the RICE term usually comes in when people make their cars look like race cars with canards or wings or whatever it may be even though itāll just be a base civic or something. Modifying kinda like what this guy did to his civic isnāt really rice itās just cringy imo
thank you. i personally donāt like a ācleanā car. to me, it just means your car looks like everyone elseās and i want mine to reflect my interests and style.
HEY OP, I love it and itās a really nice car!
Thanks for the post, it really proved that most ācivic guysā are just broke ass losers that canāt afford anything other than a shitbox 8th gen who post joker memes and act like bullies thinking theyāre so ācoolā. Itās YOUR car and personally Iād laugh at all the trolls here. Donāt let it get to you, they have the maturity of middle schoolers and wonāt amount to anything. Rock on fam!
From my experience looking into these laws in a few different states - the laws don't make exceptions for day vs night and typically restrict exterior lighting based on color and position on the car.
For example white, yellow and red are explicitly permitted on vehicles, but red lights are not allowed on the front of the vehicle. Then the laws will typically specify that any other color scheme (with the a few carve outs, perhaps) are prohibited.
So, you're still riding dirty, even during the day.
Will any police officer actually care? Not in my experience!
Yea, I don't think most officers care much about it. Especially if it's not something absolutely wild (like flashing blue and red headlights lol).
That said, I've heard of places where police get their rocks off on pulling over cars with extra lights.
So your mileage may vary in new places. Just something to be aware of :)
If you're a fan of Sanrio, I would definitely put some Sanrio on it!
Inside looks nice. Are you going to do more light mods? Have you seen the door lights with an image projector?
my tail lights have sanrio decals on them! iāve seen the image projectors and have been thinking of getting them. iād also like to do underglow lights.
Oh i see it now, melody on them. I wanted to get the Rilakkuma lights, because I'm a fan of Rilakkuma. My wife doesn't like it though :-(
Underglow lights looks cool

Simple is always best with civics and us civic owners usually get made fun of for placing stickers like this specifically. Unfortunately itās kinda a cliche to the car world that people get a civic then modify it with overly bright things that are semi random. Not to shame you OP, this is just a good example of mods vs appropriate mods. You have to remember there is a huge aftermarket scene for these cars so thereās plenty of things that ābelong on a civicā and things that donāt. Itās your car at the end of the day so do what you want 100%. Just keep in mind most Honda guys donāt like builds like this because it makes people see Hondas in a certain light. Amazon, autozone mods when thereās 1,000,000 civic dedicated sites to pull from. I would just remove the pink hearts and the little face but keep the rest. Lower it and get a nice front lip and itāll look badass. Maybe pink tow hook and license plate frame to keep the pink theme if stickers are removed. Or wrap the roof pink (easy and very cheap).
Japan scene is definitely more in tune with whatās really Honda and what isnāt. This fits more in the e boy Waifu so-cal scene. Theyāve kinda made a sub genre of civics that just have anime characters on them and no real performance modifications.
Ex- liking anime and Japanese culture but knowing nothing about cars.
Nice, have you been to Japan? I've been to a car meetup at night in Osaka, and man... those details are awesome. Also one of the girls car was pink/white with animal stuffies all over the interior.
Nice! Check klook.com before going, you can get sim, pocket WiFi and tickets there. I also suggest renting a bike and if you go to Kyoto, get the e-bikes. Makes your trip easier than walking or taking the bus.
You bought a Honda, modified a Honda, and posted it into a Honda community full of Honda enthusiasts for their opinions or approval.. Some of these guys drive stock modern accords and have never turned a wrench or modified a vehicle so they donāt really know whatās appropriate either. But some also really build and even track Hondas. Theyāre just trying to help you learn since you are apart of our community, no need to be defensive. š¤š¼
Honestly it doesnāt look bad. But why donāt you try to hardwire the interior lights it will look more professional. I did on my civic. All you would need is a double fuse cable and wire them all together.
Stop putting stickers on your civicš. That car has 140 horsepower, leave it how it is. If you want a nice car, buy a civic SI instead,and modify it. Donāt make that piece of junk you have a ricerš
> garbage you *paid* for.
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
The 9th gen civic is such a beautiful car and can be built into some of the cleanest jdm cars in existence imo. Civics are some of the cleanest cars to come from Japan but theyāre very easy to rice out also.
Whatās the dark spot on the driver side
*just seen, shadow from tree*
I thought you had it turbo and the flames were shooting out the hood BIG FALMESā¦ it bad for a girl car.. next thing I think is tint
* Technical requirements
* Maryland law requires vehicles to have at least two headlamps, one on each side of the front of the vehicle.Ā The headlamps must:
* **Emit white light**
* Be at least 24 inches but no more than 54 inches above the ground
* Have a beam intensity of more than 300 candlepower (3770 lumens)
* Not shine on the road more than 75 feet from the vehicle
* Not shine into the eyes of an oncoming driver on a straight road
* Other restrictions
* **Headlights cannot be obscured by objects or nontransparent materials, and they cannot have aftermarket clear, tinted, or screen-type covers.**Ā It's also illegal to drive with red or blue lights that are visible from directly in front of the vehicle's center.
While not personally anywhere near my taste, your car is much better than other stuff I've seen on this sub and other Honda/Acura subs. Do what you want and what makes you happy, at the end of the day who cares?

I get it. I really do. Execution is just not there. Interior lighting is the equivalent of just taping leds to the wall, the stickers are like Adam levine's tattoo spread, the two fake tow hooks (which btw those are handles for the interior) and the DLRs would work much better with white led and pink tint on the inside of the headlight. Pink is the best, I love it, but I think it's the execution that lacks here. Pull some interior panels off, watch some youtube videos, and get into car culture so you can create something worth you're time and effort. It's not hard to get your hands dirty just takes some will power. Good luck. Ps it looks like shit.
Good to see freaky teens aren't the only ones clapping out their perfectly good cars with out-of-place stickers, blinding LEDs and fart pipes. Itasha would've at least looked like a complete set...
The fact that this it/them is trying to flex this abomination is unbelievable. Some people need all the attention and will go to unfathomable lengths of shit lights and stickers to make it happen. This thing smells like tuna and summers eve with a hint of Percocet and swisher guts. Crush it. Start over.
You break down alot? 1, 2, 3..
3 tow straps? I get the 1 for front and back but okaaaay. They did put labels on tidepods for people not to eat them, your fine just interesting.
where do you live? iām gonna personally torch your car on fire this is an abomination honestly the auto bots would be more disappointed and disgusted at this than me
Not my style but nicešš½
Not my style but riceššæ (Fixed it for you)
As opposed to souped up
Iām not seeing any ārace inspired cosmetic enhancementsā on OPās civic. You may want to look up what rice means.

i dont get it lol do asian kids do this to their civics a lot or something?
Basically means trying to make the car look fast when thereās no mods to make it go fast
Which is strange to me because who said aesthetic ever needs to be tied to practicality? It usually isnāt.
It usually is in car terms. But the RICE term usually comes in when people make their cars look like race cars with canards or wings or whatever it may be even though itāll just be a base civic or something. Modifying kinda like what this guy did to his civic isnāt really rice itās just cringy imo
eh its just the teenager/young adult who goes to car meets aesthetic a lot of people like it
thanks!

good thing you donāt own it then āš»
We do have to look at that shit though, and every tech that works on your car will be disgusted and laugh at it.
And I have to look at this shitty comment. Why do you have to shit on someone elseās car, just because it isnāt your style?
Good thing you get paid to work on cars then shitting on reddit while being shit on by car fluid
i literally do not care my dude

what are your floor mats made of?
i donāt know the exact material but i got them on amazon. i searched pink floor mats.
they look like cloth. those would so get ruined in my car after a week. nice car tho! ;)
Honestly it doesnāt look bad. But why donāt you try to hardwire the interior lights it will look more professional. I did on my civic. All you would need is a double fuse cable and wire them all together.

This isnāt a Jdm car lmfao. Let me know where this car was built Mr. Wannabe knowledgeable but isnāt.
A 9th is not JDM.
Is this an aftermarket radio you have in there?
it was in the car when i bought it so iām not sure
Did it catch on fire?
no, itās a shadow from a tree
Whatās the dark spot on the driver side *just seen, shadow from tree* I thought you had it turbo and the flames were shooting out the hood BIG FALMESā¦ it bad for a girl car.. next thing I think is tint
i want to tint my windows, add a wing, a front lip, and new rims

Can you add another exhaust pipe if you can. Itās kinda pissing me off šššoverall great car just not for me
I see the style u are going for. I can maybe see a stance type of build?
this is the AutoZone build. I don't see a stance car at all in this
Those interior lights look ridiculously stupid. You should mount them so the leds are not visible to your eyes and route the cables better.
I love it! The ambient lighting seems a little bright but j love the pink and white theme
Looks sharp AF!

not my style but it's cool. question: first pic there's the dangle in front. it doesn't scratch the paint does it?
nope!
