basically all you need is the plastic piece that has a litlle compartment in it and another spot for your radio (so it takes up the whole area of what used to be your OEM radio) and you will need the harness adapter to adapt the cars harness to the Pioneer deck. other than that you should be golden!
if you go through best buy or curcuit city its about 10-15 per piece (harness adaptor and plastic mount) so total $20-30. it sucks but its the only way

go grab a radio mounting kit at bestbuy, it's just under 20buck(with tax and everything), and see the one you don't use(there's like couple of single din mount kit for civic so you can go ahead and see them on ebay) i sold my unused civic piece for ten buck on ebay
you don't really need to buy the harness adapter if you want to, it's a matter of color matching all the wires, which i could give you a link to. Half an hour job(soldering iron, solder, wire stripper that's all it takes)
