So I have done this myself, it's been several months, works properly. It was a pain, but I got it done. Here's some pics to follow you along my journey:

 

So your stock unit looks like this eh? Not anymore :)

I brought the bezel inside for further disassembly.

I installed the new head unit, a Kenwood KDC-MP242 unit.

Ha, the stock honda radio is so funny looking. I have an EK as well, but it came with a pioneer head unit when i got it.

 

lol, dude it sucked because I had to play CDs, and then guess what? Yup.. the CD player went out. And I can't drive without my jams, and I hate radio SO I spent $110 and countless hours to put that Kenwood unit in. And Pioneer units are sweeeeet!! Very premium!
