Has anyone installed these on them on their competition seats? How are they installed? I tried to install them but couldn’t get them to fit right.

It would be beneficial if you could provide more detailed information and images illustrating your problem.

This additional context will allow forums members to maybe help

All of them fit like dog shit and if you actually look at them in person no matter the brand, you can easily tell it's some lame stuck on carbon fiber part.
If you absolutely must have the carbon look, the best thing to do is return those and have a wrapping shop wrap them in vivid 3D Carbon. It'll look OEM+

I have the Eventuri CF Seatbacks and fitted perfectly, but you have to apply 3m adhesion promotor as this will create a better bond as it is not 100% smooth surface.

How did you fit on the top portion? Did you press it into the head rest? (I’ve added pics)

The headrest section of the Eventuri CF seatbacks will need to be wedged in very tightly in between the leather and the plastic of the actual back of the seat.

Installation is a PITA! You will need plastic type trim removal tools so you don’t scratch up the CF or leathers. With the pry tools you need to start prying at one corner nearest to the neck area and work your way all around to the other side of the headrest. The rear seatbacks are installed in a similar matter.

Good luck!
