jdm is clean and original Japanese look, where as ricer is big wings, body kits and big rims it looks tacky.


people that try to imitate the fast and the furious are usually ricers.|||JDM means Japanese Destination Market. JDM parts tend to be higher performance than the US version but look and fit as stock.





So building a car "JDM" style would basically mean leaving the exterior alone (maybe a few small, subtile differences in spoilers and such) and adding power, handling, and braking via factory foreign market parts.





The ricer style would involve your typical turd, overweight with huge air dams and spoilers and such, and maybe even an enormous spoiler. Add a cold air intake and a fart can and you've got a heavy, slow, piece of **** with no real performance to speak of.|||JDM stands for Japan Domestic Market... and JDM vehicles are vehicles uniquely assembled for the Japanese Market...





Now, JDM cars are much more performant and fuel efficient than their North American equivalents (USDM), and that is why many racing and JDM fans from north america deal with North American JDM importers like Japan General Motors (http://www.japangeneralmotor.com) in order to work and power up their american cars.





The JDM way (the racer way, with an "a") means working on the heart of the vehicle and bringing power and efficiency up, while leaving aside the touch-ups that normally also make those japanese cars cool. That is what engine swaps are all about.





The ricer way, (with an "i") means prioritizing the touch ups... Now, ground effects like spoilers and wings can also increase the performance and stabillity, but it does not make any difference in the heart of the vehicle. So that is why they call it the RICE way, because yes, your car will look like JAPANESE but its heart is still AMERICAN.





Hope I could be of help|||AAHHHH, JDM, man when are you jdm fanboys going to leave this stupid stuff alone? ITS PLAYED OUT.... Make a car YOUR style, not just because people say jdm is better, because quite frankly it's not. Its a bunch of WAAAYYYY overpriced parts that people are stupid enough to pay the price for. PERIOD. I'm sorry I just get so sick of people saying "it's got JDM parts on it" whoopty freaking doo. My 99 civic has a fully built JG Engine dynamics bottom end, Skunk2 head, Peakboost turbo kit, and AEM EMS. It is a LS/VTEC monster that will spank all of your "JDM" p.o.s.'s OH, by the way it puts out 407 whp at 15 psi, and 619 whp at 25 psi, has a full R34 style bodykit, carbon creations lip spoiler, full Kicker sound system, painted Atomic Orange, Carbon Creations hood, Enkei Evo5 wheels, Sparco Milano seats, It has ran a best time of 9.87 @ 137 mph in the 1/4 mile on 93 octane pump gas with a r/t of .59 with STREET TIRES, full stereo, A/C and power steering. This is what happens when you buy parts that work, instead of buying what someone "thinks" is cool. But as far as being a ricer, its the people who do put weedeater exhausts, triple aluminum spoilers, and a hideous bodykit on a car that has already been lowered too far and tears the bumper up in 3 days. And the ones who have nice outsides and when they open their hood they still have the stock DX, or LX motor with a Ebay intake. Sorry about ranting on your question, but I needed to vent on some stupidity.|||Well lets say you have a 92 Honda Accord. If you put a body kit on it, spoiler, loud *** muffler that sounds like a weedeater, that is being "riced out". JDM however, is all stock, original fabrication, nothing special.|||Well the ricer look would be body kits, rims, tachs, gauges, etc with no or little attention to engine %26amp; performance.


Whereas the JDM look more or less looks stock but as well has more engine attention (at least from what I've seen). Its not quite like a sleeper though.|||riced is gay and dumb and jdm is gay only.
