Possible, but I don't believe GM made the lenses to begin with??

I pulled the polished trim off an old lense & swapped it over to a new one. Definitely a difference. The new trim is bright alum; the original appears to either be polished more so or chromed. The original trim matches the tailgate insert perimeter edges much better. The aftermarket trim would look fine against no-panel or one that is more brushed vs. polished/chrome.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
