That's a pretty common misconception. The goal is to always make it exactly as the original unless it's intended to be a "Performance" part. On some of the gates and other parts we do pay licensing fees to GM to use trademarked logos and designs; this is how we can put "Chevrolet", "GMC", etc. on the parts. GM doesn't always accept the application for licensing (like on the '69-'70 grille frame) but this is normally due to them still offering the part themselves.
