Replacing the stock HU, do I need a install kit?

I have a '02 EX coupe with the stock cd player and want to replace it with my JVC KD-SH707 MP3 player. I plan on buying a wiring harness, but will I need a installation kit also or will it fit the stock hole? Much appreciate any replies.. thank you.

I would if I were you.

I had two different kits. One kept the pocket w/ the door, the other just made it into a cubby.

I found the one that kept the pocket w/ the door to be cheap and not very robust. Had it less than 2 months before I swapped to the other style.

Thanks guys for the quick replies. The install kit looks good. So which kit should I consider? Metra, Scosche or something else? Thanks again, appreciate it.
