With the new absorber comes new brackets that get riveted to it, the brackets move the holes back 1/2" and down 1 1/2" so the diffuser mounts to them. see pic.
In the pic you can see the new diffuser and the old on on top. |

Not to jack your thread Ofer, and I hope you don't mind me putting in my 3 cents... but I just finished installing the rear diffuser.
I used my '10 absorber, yes, you are correct that the locating tabs on each of the extension tabs are at different angles, but the end result is they are even across the bottom of the absorber. I just cut the locating tabs & drilled for a 2nd rivit. Each tab is marked "Outboard L", "Inboard L", "Inboard R", and "Outboard R" I didn't have a template, that would have made it easier, but the cuts seem to run just about 1/4" above the lower body line. Some careful measuring and a steady hand with a dremel with a cut-off wheel worked well for me. The extra hole in the picture is from a prior splash guard install. A view of the back of the fascia... And the outside... Hope this helps, and Ofer for starting this thread!
