Default Arm Rest delete option

I have a 1990 GT, from what I read on the net, this is like the only year that did not come with
an arm rest on the center console. Can I buy a kit to add one to my arm rest, or will have have
to search some junk yards for the part to put a console arm rest in my car? I was looking at
latemodelrestorationparts on line and they have a kit, but not sure if is everything I need.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

that was an option (dealer i think)
my armrest was ugly and not in perfect shape so i chose to buy an armrest delete from 50resto and i love it. best interior mod for the price. trust me, you dont want a center armrest. interior looks bigger/cleaner without one

sorry for the late response, i never got around to it
anyway, dont pay attention to the color difference, i painted my center console so it does not match my delete 100%. the delete panel does match the original color tho

I've got a 90GT with the center console arm rest. Its maybe 8 inches long, and by and large pretty useless except for holding a map or some other folded paper or pens.
