I'm pretty sure it's custom. If you have see the show ( Knight Rider) they made that bumper custom and even exteneded the hood to cover it. Of course, somebody might sell them too.

Re: Different kitt front end
I am pretty sure it is custom, but it isn't the first one I'd seen. Awhile ago there was a Trans Am that had a Ram Air I hood on it, with the KR scanner in the stock front bumper, then he molded over the turn signals to give it a little more "meat" in that area. It was one of my favorite Thirdgens.
I am not sure where you got the idea they modified the hood, but I am pretty sure they didn't. You can buy KR Replica bumpers from several places, but the one I know best is Marks Customer Kits (http://www.markscustomkits.com/)

Re: Different kitt front end
There were several different versions of the car, so its very possible on one of them they needed to for one reason or another. The normal one did not have an extended hood, there were some (like in the pic above) that didn't have turn signals, etc. That one might have been a quick fix for the show, maybe they totalled the one they had and did have another ready to go?
This is what KITT looked like:

I know that's what Kitt looks like. But, an the first part of the pilot, they used that custom nose, then later on in the episaode, they replaced it with the one we all know.

Look at page 5 of his page. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2503385/5
He states, "KITT bumper/light fabricated by me"
Then below it there is this image.

On that car, all he did was cut the hole for the Scanner on the stock T/A bumper.

And the show wouldn't have even been possible if a rail car loaded with new TA's didn't derail.
