It wasn't. Only Callaway had the body components and IIRC, the only way to get them was to order the complete Callaway option (RPO B2K) for about $27,000.
When the car came off the assembly line, it was shipped to Callaway in Olde Lyme CT where the mods were done. The only wat to get the body pieces alone was to get them from Callaway and you had to prove the pieces were for a Callaway-optioned car. No over the counter sales to just anyone.
The seller may have found a used rear facia and installed it. Otherwise, his statement in the ad is

I guess I'm reading the ad a little different than you guys. He says the bumper was a $4000 upgrade, but he doesn't say it was a factory option. If I put that bumper on my car I'd call it an upgrade also. 
Either way, I think that car looks bad azz

and with paint, it was probably close to $4k 
Also looks like an AeroBody Callaway in the background, and a set of Dymags on the shelf
