Possibly one of the awesomest posts ever on this website. Oh, and I much prefer the monkey to the cat. And to answer the question more fully:

Rice is what the Japanese eat (and no, it's not just a stereotype... I ate more rice while I was in Japan than I ever have in my entire life. So much that I actually now like rice by itself). A starchy, staple food. Also indicative of the Japanese. Thus when somebody "rices" their car, or is a "ricer" or has too much "rice," they are making their car, in theory, too Japanese. This appelation comes from the theory that Japanese boy racers like to make their cars very showy and loud, while not necessarily very fast (although some riced cars are also very fast). Altezza lights, vinyl decals on the side of the car, obsessive chrome, loud exhaust or BOV, hood scoops and wings that do nothing, big shiny wheels, gratuitous skirts... all these things are of the Uncle Ben culture. They are bad. Anything shiny that you can buy at AutoZone is rice. No exceptions (well, maybe the chrome tire pressure gauge). Automotive rice is bad. It makes people laugh at you behind your back, lowers your self image, and makes girls run away in droves.
