Was i ripped off or what?

sonic370

Ok already posted on here about my 370 being hit in a parking lot.Anyway
Dealership fixed it.It came out perfect as far as i can tell.Long story short i'm not trying to rip of the insurance company so when my car was hit it had a black front bra cover.I know bad idea that is where im heading though.When dealer when to put on the new cover i told them just to give it to me the car looked better without it. So anyway i went back today to return the cover and they told me they couldn't refund the money to me since it was an insurance claim the refund should go to the insurance.So what do you guys think. I did pay for that cover new less then 30 days before i got hit.Am i out of line thinking i should get the refund.Sorry to ramble.
