Test fitted Rpmtesla carbon fiber seat backs, carbon mirror caps and side camera caps and they all fit pretty good.

Turns out the backs of the new model s/X are the exact same as the 3/y. Tesla saving cost by using the same standard shape in all their cars.
I looked for the seat backs at rpm Tesla, and could not find them. Do they apply over the original seat backs or are they a true replacement?

they are direct replacements. So you'll have to pull up your headrest and take out original seat backs. Was kind of a pain to be honest, but take it slow.

Curious whether they came with installation instructions or is it obvious as to what to do?
 
I saw on another post somewhere that they're not sure if there's even a retrofit option. Something about an entirely different wiring harness.
It's becoming painfully obvious that I will be buying yet another Model S later this year, and sleeping on the couch for a while 😂 With new headlights and tail lights, display tilting and hopefully soon - ambient lighting, I think it will be worth the upgrade, although I can't help but feel cheated by Tesla's messaging & marketing, as I thought the tilting feature will be software enabled at a later date.
 
Here is one of rpmtesla’s spoilers (Jupiter) that I installied.
