I think the grand prix does have eyelets for fenders, but another option is to use clamp on fenders. On my Motobecane, I used these:
Fenders SpeedezHybrid/ Touring
I am really not comfortable putting holes in my already skinny seat stays. It would be better in this case to get something that attaches to my seat post or something.
I already have my Velo Orange fenders. My dropouts only each have one eyelet. I'll have to put the rack in it and the fenders with p-clamps unless I can get both onto one bolt from a hardware store.
