I can honestly say I haven't seen that one before.
It's not - Mariah, CP Racing, Pacifica, Group C, IMSA, Dave Kent...
The square back end is really throwing me. Do you have any more pictures of it? I'm very curious now.

My buddy has had it at his facility for a few years now on consignment. Kinda just sititng now. Looking to move out of M3 and into some older Japanese car. Anyhow, I'll try to swing by there in the next few days and get some more pictures. I asked him and he said that they had it on the lift and he saw Mazda stampings in the body panels, spent a bit of time looking for mazda and mazda speed widebody's but nothing
Looks more like a one off kit. First time seeing a Dodge Daytona style wing on a RX-7. More shots of the rear would be interesting. I imagine it might be a little ungainly, but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
interesting find. very hard edges in terms of design. i'm in for more pics.
the only thing i've seen that's remotely similar is this (bottom of site):
Event>> Old/now Car Festival 2010 - Pt3 - Speedhunters
some of the 2nd gen widebodies also have more of a squared design.

At first when I clicked on the link there was an F40 and I was like

Check out how the rear flare goes past the door handles. This is the only kit I've seen that does that.
I was bored last night and did a little research and came up with nothing. I'm definitely staying tuned tho, cause this has me wondering, especially the fact that the kit says Mazda on it.

vaguely looks like the Mazdaspeed cars from the early 80's Mazda RX-7 253i - Racing Sports Cars

It's an F40!!!
I was just playing Forza 5 today racing my F40 in one of the class championships and thought, "Man, I bet I could make a widebody kit that looks like an F40 for the FB..."
