Can Anyone ID this Body Kit?

I found this pic while searching the net today and I'm curious if it is a one-off or a production kit. It looks similar to some of the first gen kits available but distictly zx. The website I found it at was for Trans Am racing and said the car was raced in 1983 by P.L. Newman, if that helps. I'd greatly appreciate any more info, especially more pics. Thanks.

Professional race cars usually have custom made bodies. (lord knows, this guy had the money to do it!)

That's what I was afraid of. Looks like I'm still going to be making my own. Thanks anyways.

EDIT: Found another picture. So far this is the only zx I've found with flares that acctually go with the lines of the car. The car was owned by Bob Sharp and raced by Paul Newman It had a single turbo 2.4L engine! It was later rebuilt with a Supercharged Nissan V8.

I Love the paint scheme on this one! Definately ZXR inspired, notice the "ZX" written on the rear quarter panel...

Those are tight man, wow sweet looking Z's! There is a bodykit that Victoria British sells, that kind of goes on the same lines as that. But I swear the kit they have looks like the Transformers Autobot Smokescreen! Hey Bleach feel free to jump in this one. I am thinking about doing my '81 like Smokescreen. Then I will have 2 live Transformers. I just like to be different! Haven't seen anybody really do old school Transformers from cars. Yes I am a sick SOB, and obsessed!
