Honda Jazz GD3 upgrade guide

Honda Jazz GD3 Upgrade Guide: Every Part We Make for the First Gen Fit

The first generation Jazz and Fit (GD3, 2001 to 2007) has quietly become one of the best value platforms in the JDM scene. It is light, honest to drive, cheap to run and increasingly modified properly rather than just driven into the ground. We stock more parts for the GD3 than for almost any other non Type R Honda, and this guide covers all of them in one place.

Exterior: the JDM look, done with the right parts

The single most transformative piece is the Modulo style front lip. It drops the visual weight of the front bumper and gives the GD3 the stance the Japanese dealer option cars had. Ours is made to order, which keeps the fitment tight to the GD3 bumper rather than a universal lip trimmed to suit.

At the rear, JDM crystal style taillights replace the aging factory units with the clean clear look the domestic market got, and the tailgate garnish finishes the rear hatch trim that most GD3s are now missing or have in faded condition.

Function: cowl heat extractor

The GD3 engine bay is small and packed, and heat soak is real in Australian summers and on spirited drives. Our cowl heat extractor vents hot air out of the bay through the cowl area, a simple bolt on that working GD3s actually benefit from rather than a purely cosmetic vent.

Interior: mats that fit the GD3 floorpan

Most GD3s are on their second or third owner and the factory carpet shows it. Our checker floor mats are cut for the GD3 floorpan specifically, with the classic JDM checker weave and anti slip backing. Up top, the GD3 has one of the largest, flattest dashboards Honda ever made, which means glare and UV fade. A custom fit dash mat solves both and covers dashboards already showing their age.

Storage: a cover sized for a small car

A garaged GD3 deserves the same treatment as the bigger JDM metal. Our GD3 cover uses the same velvet stretch knit as our GTR and Type R covers in a lightweight cut sized for the Jazz body, breathable so moisture escapes instead of sitting on paint.

Fitment and shipping

Everything here is made for the GD3 chassis, not adapted from other models. If you run a GE8 or GK5, we make checker mats for those generations too. Dispatched from Australia, shipped worldwide.
