Default New Mud Flap design - gauging interest

I ordered some mud flaps from Urban Automotive, but they came in with less nuts than bolts (18 total bolts and 10 nuts). I tried calling and they advised that they supplied the correct amount which doesn't make any sense.. and somewhat annoying.

So anyways, I was looking around and really like the style of the rubber mud flaps on the classic defender body style that has the ability to just replace the flaps. Would there be any interest in creating a custom bracket that would accept various rubber flaps? I would want them to be a tad longer and wider than the current OEM flaps. Similar to the attached picture but with a bracket that fits the L663 body style.

I would love it if we had all rubber mud flaps that are ot supper stiff. Better yet ones that are somewhat removable would be great. Most of the time I dont need them but when pulling my offroad trailer on dirt/mud roads in Utah it would come in handy. Then removing them for off roading would be great

This photo shows what happens without mudflaps. Red area is pile of mud after I scrapped it off. Green area shows how thick it was. Luckily it froze the night before so most it came off in big frozen sheets with a hammer.

Count me in. The only feedback I would add is to ensure the bracket fits over where the existing mudflaps attach, soas to not leave any exposed holes in the trim.

Maybe a short option and longer option as well?

I'm in !! Hoping they dont require any cutting or interfere with turning.
