If by that you're meaning the Kobel Predator ground effects kit (pic'd below), you can find it @ JCWhitney.com or various other places.
If by 'kit' you mean like a kit-car 'kit'.... no clue.

I have seen an actual full Testarossa body kit for Trans Ams that actually looked like a Ferrari... came with emblems and all.... I'll try to find out where he got the kit from, but I think it was like $4500.00

I used to have an "84 T/A that I put that kit on. I got a lot of complements on it. I think they look good.

Testarossa is for Fiero not Firebird

The full Testrossa kits I have seen were for Fieros. Because of the perimeter fram construction, the bolted right on. A guy here in town had converted a V-6 Fiero. He had the similar wheels too. It looked alright by not my cup of tea.

There is a bird in the junkyard around here with that kit intact on the sides and rear, the car has no wheels and is laying in the dirt. it would make em a little hard to get off. not my style but whatever.

That picture looks like a modified Kobel kit... the kit you buy doesn't have opening on the body anywhere, just the add-on effects. It looks like there are actual vents underneath the effects in that picture.
