Huh?

It is called a bumper cap. In 91 they switched to a "banshee" style.

Is that what you are looking for? We need some background on this question.

Asking this on a board that doesn't focus on TPI tech may be a good start to getting your question answered.

My guess is that like almost every other automotive related logo, it's probably uniquely developed independantly of any commercially available font.

Yup. I had a nasty time trying to find a font that matched the factory RPO labels. Finally did. Got an example of the "FORMULA" script in case I have one?

Is this the one: www22.brinkster.com/elitefbodies/pontiac.zip?

According to the read_me.txt inside the zip file, I found it at http://www.larabiefonts.com. Hope that helps!
