Any alternator starter shop. I have been told that Autozone & Advance have them. Some say they are for a C6 but it will fit. The Purple wire connector eyelet will have to be changed to a C6 connector style.

The Starter Alt shop here in CT had both styles.

Where the heck are you trying to get it from??? Any Autozone or Advance autoparts or even NAPA will have the starter.

Heres what they look like:
