I've always wanted to mod this to two M6 studs and sS nuts which make it a lot easier to put on.

My 99 is held on with a bungie cord, I confess

Good idea. I was wondering about how to fix that part, which is cracked on mine.

I did something similar using simpson strong ties for the steel straps. I chose the strong ties because they're relatively cheap and they are galvanized. I paired them with the self locking hardware as you did. They've been working just fine for 7 years.
