Default Update on my fuel rails

Well, Paul from PRJ said the gen 3 rails turned out fantastic and they should arrive by end of next week.
Sooooo I decided to get a head start and pull off my stock rails. Wasnt too bad except the injectors pulling out with the rails. Of course it was the back drivers side which is a PITA to get to LOL.
My question is I thought someone on here said save myself issues and replace O rings? There are O rings top and bottom on the injectors. Should I replace all of them. Also one pulled off and the small retainer that seems to hold the O ring on the bottom portion fell off into the engine bay abyss and I cant find it. Will a place like NAPA have these or do I need to go to a dealer?
Any other tips before I get my rails as far as install I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks In advance

PM Farnsworth, he has a complete ring kit, upper, lower for each injector and two per each fuel line. Pretty cheap too. I can't comment about the broken injector with authority so I will leave it to someone more qualified.

I checked onine and saw ZZP and Intense has new injectors. ZZP offers a 10 dollar rebate for each one returned. They have 25lb, 42.5 lb. What is on a stock GTP?
I'll check with Farnsworth on the kits

Yeah I just saw the o-rings on ZZP. I didnt know if that plastic ring /clip was necessary or important. ZZP offers a 10 dollar rebate for returned injectors when you buy them but it states they must have the ring/clip. So I thought maybe its bad if I dont have it on when I reinstall the injectors.

Im not sure about the broken clip. Its used to hole the o-ring, so I would consider it important. Its part of the structure of the fuel injector so I personally would be hesitant to put it back in.

That was my concern, figured its there for a reason and why would ZZP not give a credit on a core return without it if it wasnt important.

They commonly break. You'll probably break more of them as you remove and replace the o-rings.
