6-speed shifter boot - look funny?

Hello, I'm looking at possibly purchasing this '02 Maxima. In one of the pictures I noticed that there look to be some "prongs" up where the shifter boot ought to connect to the reverse ring. Looks like the boot may have become disconnected. I don't believe I've seen any like that before. Is it supposed to look like that? If not, is it hard to fix?

I haven't seen the car in person yet, its about 2 hours away. Thought I'd pick your guy's brains...



Thanks!

Thanks jeepik, I appreciate the feedback. Finding a '02-'03 6-speed, for a reasonable amount of money and not on the other side of the planet, has been a bear. If all goes well, I'll be picking her up tomorrow.

Here is a link to more pics of the car:

That makes my last three cars EBay finds... One of which I actually had to "win" by bidding.

i actually have my boot even higher then it should be, i have it over the reverse ring itself.

i think it looks much better that way.
