When I had an accident with my FRS a few years back that destroyed a few aftermarket parts on the car, they just cut me a check to buy replacements. It did make repairs take a bit longer, but the shop was lovely and everyone did a great job.
For kicks, I did a check and the aftermarket parts were more expensive than OEM replacements at the time. Although this was pretty early in the cars life cycle ( March 2013 I think), so the aftermarket parts were probably easier to get.
Still, a 5% bump in my premium was worth the peace of mind. Your mileage will probably vary wildly based on your insurance though.

I have GEICO too, so I'm curious what parts you had listed with them...?
