I do not think it exists, it is probably someones special decal package, or a dealer package.

No its not a Formula

Pep Boys and other car parts shops used to sell a package of two door handle emblems that had wording of them, back in the day.
You could get
Trans Am
Limited
Special Edition
I'm sure there were a few others too.
These were slightly rounded, and thick, like the Recaro TA door emblems.

Aftermarket stuff.

Somewhat similar to the Iroc-Z sticker Only it had the appearance of being "spray painted on" but it was a sticker

Actually to add to this the aftermarket door handle decals they also also had "Fuel Injection." Which was almost if not identical to the OEM Pontiac ones put on 82-87 Firebirds with FI. I never wanted them soooo much until I actually needed to replace them, now I cant find them to save my life in new condition... I had to resort to getting them from junkyards and reconditioning them...

What color are the stripes?
Got a photo?
I seem to remember a Firebird with Limited on the door.
Like a Firebird 500, which was a SoCal dealer add on.
