Mounting ring replacement

Since my Nikon kit lenses have plastic mounting rings, is it possible to replace them with metal rings? I have not had any issue with the plastic mounts, but was just wondering if that could be done.
Thanks in advance for any input re: this.

Mounting rings? Are you referring to the three mounting flanges on the lens?

When my D90 with a mounted 18-55mm kit lens dropped just 18-inches onto a carpeted floor, two plastic flanges snapped-off of lens. The cost of repair (plastic only, not metal flanges) was more than buying same lens on eBay.
