The only negative is there appears to be a little warp/undulation in the bumper. The camera shot actually amplifies the warp. I don't really notice the warp unless I am looking for it.
When I went to the hardware store I couldn't remember the width of the aluminum piece you used, which was 1". So I bought a 1.5" wide piece.
Now I am wondering if the wider piece is pressing on the bumper, causing the warping. I will probably try again, and buy a 1" piece to see if that is the cause of the warp.
The only thing I did different was glue one round anti-skid pad on one end, not both ends. I am no engineer, but I thought this might help cinch up the bumper.
The first pic is the TSB bolt the dealer used. I tried tightening the bolt to see if it would close the gap. But tightening the bolt didn't close the gap at all. So Chrysler's TSB is totally ineffective at fixing the gap.

Hey Joey, glad to see it worked out pretty good for you. I did use a 1 inch aluminum angle. Any wider, and it will press up against the side wall of the bumper itself.
Here are a couple more pics to show how close it gets. This is looking up through the vent opening.
