I love your rubber gasket idea I hope you don't mind if I do the same.
By all means. I was able to locate the rubber plug online. I purchased the rubber plug from Steele Rubber Products. I provided a screen shot of the item I purchased. I used the actual hole diameter drilled on your Diffuser to select the plug.

I was fortunate my situation was mitigated by the manufacturer with positive results.
I have the older Vorsteiner diffuser and you are spot on about the outer tabs. Mine broke on the outer tab over the tail pipe going over a speed bump and I haven't found a way to secure it at that part. So it just sticks out from the bumper. Up close it looks bad. I haven't come up with a way to fix it, any ideas would be appreciated.

The newer ones looks to be much better quality, I'm not that happy with the quality of the older one I have. It looks great but discoloration under the muffler area and little things here and there are annoying for such a nice piece.

Broken tabs, misalignment, discoloration would **** me off greatly. Love the look, but it is the reasons I have stayed away.

If you are interested most of the issues have been greatly taken care of. The fit of mine was spot on. The tabs just need to be handled with care. The quality of the product and the new venting and heat shielding is a big plus. I would recommend now where I was hesitant before.
