Clips And Fasteners seems to be a relatively decent price from what I can find and has plenty of stuff to supplement what didn't make it from the junkyard for the Crown Vic. However I need some of the underbody stuff for the Miata and they are a little spare with what's available there.
Any suggestions?

I bought a couple of assortments from Amazon. They have had everything I have needed so far.

My gripe with Auveco is that they will send you the latest giant catalog. You go through it and an hour later find EXACTLY what you need, call them up only to hear "Sorry sir, that has been discontinued for some time now"
I'd guess their catalog is at least 30% dead products. They seem to have have no intention of taking them out.

I was about to, then realized the heads of them looked different and I didn't want to have to switch between sockets.

Yeah, that can be a pain.

We print hose catalogs - our issue is the opposite as our new hoses seem to miss printing and customers complain they aren't there.
The other issue is cost - it's nothing to drop $20,000 on a batch of catalogs and we have six different ones to print.
I like Bel Metric for most of my fasteners that aren't in my spares bin.
My local NAPA Auto paint store, I stumbled in looking for color match paint only to find racks of clips and fasteners of all colors and materials. Lots of need for that stuff when fixing crash damage.

Are the prices per quantity the same as a regular NAPA store? Cause its robbery at a regular NAPA.
I have thousands of clip that I got from Amazon. I just search for "Toyota door panel clips" or "Honda trim clips" or whatever then buy a pack of 100 when I find what I need. They're always super cheap I keep them stored in those plastic organizers from Harbor Freight.
