Bzzt, wrong, you DO need new heat shields! Your engine may run fine at first, but eventually the increased heat will cause deposits on the injectors tips and more poor running.
The only way I'd re-use them, temporarily, would be after bending them back into original shape so that they form a seal against the injector nozzle again.
