Default E Brake Boot Trim Ring

Hey guys - going to be replacing the e brake boot soon.
Question - should I order a new mounting ring? Pretty sure I’ve read where the piece can be brittle and easily broken.
Last thing I would want is a clip breaking (or worse) when removing the old boot.
Mid America’s got ‘em for $50 with shipping. What do you think? Spend the coin and save aggravation down the road?

I replaced the leather on my ebrake boot without damaging the plastic mounting ring. Just make sure you pull straight up to remove the boot assembly from the side of the console.

Good Luck.
