What does "Grenade style" mean? Waffle pattern similar to the tanks?

I will have to take a pic next time I see one at a car show. Grenade style means look at your washer and coolant tanks. That is a grenade style look. Now they sell the wheel well covers to match. Thats what I am after. My bad for saying fender covers. I have been looking and still cant find them.

Try this place. It is where I bought my engine covers a couple of years ago and he is the owner of the body shop that used to do the parts painting when Kewl, Inc. was in business. Very nice guy and I know they used to sell the waffle style fender covers. Worth a shot.

I was going to go with the waffle style covers at first and actually had them in hand but when I looked at them on the car, I just did not like them. The waffle covers (at least the ones I saw) had a hole cut out near the headlight cover for the hood bumper to come down into and it just looked cheesy. I was able to send them back and get the non-waffle style which had no hole in the cover and I definitely thought they looked so much better. Just something to think about before you make your final decision. But, still check with the person in my previous post and see what he has.

I checked my my most recent Mid America catalogue and they still show them on page 184. The item # is 618-422. When I entered that item number on their website, I received the following link. However, when I clicked on availability, the URL was not available.

I would just call them and ask. They may still have them in stock or they may be able to provide you a supplier.
