This is the old Dave Kent design for the Series 1. In the 80's Pacific and few other companies also offered the kit. Reproductions of the RACE kit are still being sold through MazdaSpeed Motorsport Development (MazdaComp) and Mariah Motorsports.

You most likely have one of the old Pacific street kits.

Yes as Bern says, its a copy of the Kent Racing IMSA Mark I GTU body kit by Pacific. Although the package at the time was offered with a whale tail rear spoiler, yours has the wraparound lip spoiler.

I am with bern on this one it does not look wide anuff to be one of the racing ones and the lines do not look right for it. it does look a lot like the old 5 piece street kit for the 79-80 that was sold in many shops in cali. rotary engineering also sold them in the 80s but pacific was the manufacture. they called themselfs pacific t top back then. pacifics part # for your kit was 40imsa2. the part # at rotary engineering was 6351-50-9678 the RE pic is an exact match for your car. the racing version is alot wider and the rear fenders are differant. you would need at least 10 in wide rear wheels and most likly spacers to fill the fenders. welcome to the widebody group.
