I installed the Tesla Offer (MARK 3.0) Power Frunk on a post-facelift Model S.
I found a couple of videos... all on pre-facelift model S. All other videos were also the prior version of this unit (Mark 3.0), which is quite different in terms of power module and wiring harness.
Tesla Offer did make a video installing the Power Frunk MARK 3.0 on a Model X ... and here's their video of installing a prior version of the unit on a pre-facelift Model S. I recommend you watch both videos. The Model X one to understand the new harness and control unit, and the Model S one to understand where to get power/ground from, how to modify the latch, and where to run the signal cable.
I would also like to note that I had to remove the front bumper to do this right. Else I could access the latch very well. With the bumper off, I also had a good spot to properly mount and secure the latch motor. To remove the bumper I unclipped it all around, and from both fenders, pulled it off the front from the driver side and left it hanging on the passenger side where the wiring harness is. I rested it on a towel over a couple of blocks just in front of the car, giving me plenty of room to access the latch and surrounding area. If you are unsure on how to remove the front bumper, this video helped me out.
Hope someone else is about to do the install on a similar setup and can find this useful.
PS: The power frunk works great, well integrated into the car's MCU and remote. The new 3.0 version of the unit uses water tight electrical connectors, a single well built wiring harness, and the control unit can also be upgraded via an SD card. There is also a button built into the control unit, so no need to set speed and initialization using an external button like prior versions.
