Snaps and double sided 3M tape from what I've seen.

Seems to me JLR purposely makes many options 'dealer installed' when they could/should be installed on the factory line. A gimme for dealers to overcharge for installation.

Yea those prices are probably per wheel. I tried to research online also and it was difficult to find OEM parts. I didn’t want to do non original parts. Parts dept at LR said its the arch and the molding per wheel. One set, I think front were more expensive than the back. Plus I wld still have to pay labor. So swapping seems like more of a win win for 2 people to save on the parts.

Yep! Snaps and double sided tape!!! Thats pretty much exactly how the LR parts person and Service Advisor described them to me. So should be fairly simple. $400 labor probably more than necessary. But if two people are saving on having to buy the parts, it seemed like a better deal overall!
