Yes, it's on your car. That's what inspired the change in nose design for 91-92. Never seen any replicas of the original for sale.

Looks homemade, but maybe someone produced that kit, first I've seen it outside of the pontiac concept car.

Re: pontiac banshee III nose?

As I said in the first post Mikey, the nose of the 91-92 was inspired by the banshee concept car. Pontiac was periodically teased into thinking gm would let them have a 2 seater sports car like the Vette, but then it always got pulled (until the solstice swan song, and that was shared with Saturn) The banshee (2 or 3?) was supposed to be the one they were going to have in the 90s, but when it got pulled they had to settle for using some of the style design on the 4th gen. To give the third gen a new look, they also used those design elements in the 91-92 firebirds.
Anyway, my point is I'm pretty sure what you have on the car now is as close to a banshee kit as you can get without making your own.
