Default Tie-rod questions

I noticed today that the boot on the right front outer tie-rod end is missing. I presume I can't get just the boot so I will have to replace the tie-rod end. Not sure if they have been replaced before or not, they have a sort of gray/metallic colored coating on them which I guess makes them look better when the hood is open but don't know if this is the stock look. Do these need to be replaced in pairs or do I need to replace the rears to? Is there anything special I need to look for when buying them? Are the ends always the same length between brands?

Thanks for any input.........Sam

Thanks for the tip :D I will have to give them a call, they are kind of vague in their description of what they fit. Thanks!
