It sure looks like they installed it without removing the front facia. I found a previous post from CamaroScotty that says there should be 16 rivits. I guess I need to watch them take this one off and then watch them put the new one on when they get it.
I don't know what dealer installed the ground effects package on your car. I have done 2 myself and know there should have been atleast 4 aluminium rivets holding the front part of the cladding to the front fascia. I would take it back to them and make sure they READ the instructions and install (replace) it correctly.

EDIT: Also there are 16 rivets on the front cladding. There are 8 plastic ones along the bottom/rear edge, 4 aluminum (2 on each side) holding the side brackets on, and then the 4 aluminum ones holding the front part of cladding to the fascia.
