Question New Tail gate Chevy or GMC or Smooth

As yall probably know the tailgate on Screamin was smashed up by "unknown" forces a little while back at the Walmart. I have since replaced it with an aftermarket unit that I am not all that excited about. I picked up this gate for her on Fleabay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

My questions are...

Should I keep the GMC on the gate to be different?

Should I fill the GMC and smooth the gate?

or should I trade it out for a CHEVROLET gate in comparable condition?

I got a Screamin' deal on it so I am really open for suggestions.

Thanks...Bill

I would maybe try and trade it for one you like. If all else fails buy a aftermarket smooth tailgate!
