That install was deviated from the "official" installation instructions. As far as the tape, they should have double sided tape on hand. That is just at the top which secures the top portion of the fascia to the bumper. I'm surprised the rivets weren't employed to eliminate the tape procedure. I would think a body shop would be able to improvise an installation for you.

The only thing I wouldn't like is the holes in the bumper from the rivets. If for any reason you want to eliminate the fascia, there will be holes in the bumper. The way the instructions from Pontiac is, you can remove the fascia with no visible holes in the bumper, with the exception of the 4 holes on the underside of the bumper, that you could plug.

Good Luck getting it done.
