Ricey???
Ok now that ive bought my IS300 and have browsed a few IS forums I have found some lingo that I just dont get.

No worries about that from me 
Im thinking of doing something pretty origional and leaving it stock.
How come some people call the IS300 a ricemobile compared to similar cars such as the 330BMW and Audi A4?
That does not seem like it has anything to do with aftermarket mods.

It's trying (and usually failing) to make your car look and seem faster than it really is. Aero-dramatic body kits, giant, useless double-wings, slammed to the suspension stops, etc.

but as we all know, the car doesn't make the person.... we're seeing much more "ricing" of the euro cars (shall we refer to them as 'Euro trash'?) lately... no car is immune it seems.

whatever happened to the saying, "to each his own"? I'm not defending the ricers, but maybe those people who hook their cars up a certain way dont know any better; and who are we LEXUS people to label them rice just because they drive a civic or integra?? Everyone is different and yes they may have strange tastes, but we shouldnt be the one to say that isnt nice or thats ricey. just take into account that perhaps they cannot afford a lexus, and only a honda/acura. With that, they try to make the best out of their vehicle in their eyes. Of course they dont think its ricey to them, but us lexus,bmw,benz folks label them as rice. Everythings relative, so please, be considerate to those that are unfortunate. my 2 cents

I't a matter of style and taste. I'm entitled to my opinion, and i think rice sucks and looks really trashy. It seems that it's more about beeing seen and heard and feeling special than it is about making your car look phat.

Ok, I am fairly new with this forum. I mainly use is300.net but not lately since it has been down.
All this talk about riceyness along with that web-page made me think. I have a 01' yellow IS300 with clear trunk lights, clear front bumper lights, and blue calipers. What do you guys think? Is this ricey? Cause that is not what I am after.

you are bordering. take you next step towards classy, and it will take you off of the edge of the rice cliff that you might fall off of.

to each his own implies that we all have the right to do and think as we please, well that way of thinking can be applied to the people that rice up the cars, as well as the people that laugh at them and make fun of them. if you modify your car, you open yourself up to a chance for criticism, especially with anything exterior. you have a much larger chance of criticism, the more wild the exterior mods are, and an even greater chance if your car is slow, so all things are relative, but your way of thinking applies to people laughing at rice also.
