-The final piece that we need to add is limits to the integral. Since the piece of tape stretches from $-\frac{L}{2}$ to $\frac{L}{2}$, this means that the limits on the integral should also go from $-\frac{L}{2}$ to $\frac{L}{2}$ - conceptually this means that we want to add up the little bits of charge //only// along the length of the line. This gives us a final integral of:+The final piece that we need to add is limits to the integral.
