anywhere outside euro selling Hex bolt kit for the entire car? Either American SAE, or Asian Metric hex bolts works for me

This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

Just buy a set of socket head and cap head torx drivers.

If you want hex head aluminum fasteners, you're going to have to buy a lathe and turn them yourself.

SAE will not fit; the threads would not be correct.

I guess these cars are at the price point now. People are turning them into Honda Civics.
