Besides there customer service, of course.

Vatozone = crap quality parts.

Best thing to do is snatch that starter off and take it to a real starter/alternator shop, they'll have better parts, and check the thing over to make sure it doesn't need anything else. If you're asking about the starter on your '99 it should be the mini sized high torque starter, those bitches are really expensive compared to the old big starter. They're really powerful though. Be careful to not lose the bolts because they're shorter than regular starter bolts and so far I haven't been able to find them at any of the auto parts places, no matter what, they have the long ones but not these middle sized ones.
