you have to take the bumper off to release the oem grill tabs. They are the outermost tabs, (marked)
All the rest of the tabs are not involved. The bumper has a guard, unknown purpose, that blocks the bottom tabs. It is riveted or some fastener I couldnt get off. You can bend the guard back enough to access the tabs.

Ok guys, I found the solution to the whistling problem: There was a slight airflow passing in between the outer frame of the grille and the hood. I just put a foam seal in between and the wind noises are gone!

I thought it was the rubber cover being a little misaligned behind the grill. I just haven't gotten it done because I need to do some other maintenance so I told my mechanic that we'll just do all of that at once.

Actually, I forgot to consider the posers. Though 2014 is definitely non-existent and the ad does say "S63(ONLY!)", 18-20 S560 coupes/cab's can masquerade as AMGs.

I dont have any wind noise. I cant hear anything like that. And i dont know where they would put any foam. I dont know anything about that.
The only foam I know of is the Styrofoam block that is behind the bumper brackets. It is pushed in to its position before the bumper goes back on

In my video you can see my Panamerica grill
So it cost me about $700 w a shop install for my grill. I got the grill off eBay because I wanted a black gloss one which was harder to find. I had to purchase twice as the first one I received the mounting tabs didn’t line up. Now it’s on and very happy, looks great, no wind noise or whistle and the night vision and all sensors work.

Question for you , I did the black grille as well . Found one that could be delivered next day on Amazon ( sounds so cheesy !) . Long story short it seems a little loose , like it can be pulled out easily and it’s not a great fit . I also notice a whistle . Does your eBay grill show these characteristics ? Thanks in advance !

its not clipped in correctly. You have to make sure that each tab is in a slot, then that the hook snaps into each clip.
you have to take it off and see every clip from the inside.
