    LOL.
    1)Pop out all the switches (dimmer, rear defrost, sunroof) and take out all the screws that are behind them. Pop off the cover on the top of the dash and remove the two screws there. Slide the dash/cover out. Take out the four screws that hold the gauge pod. Pull it out just a bit and unhook the speedo cable and then all the wiring plugs. Done.
    2)I forgot but I think this was how you did it:Take out the ash tray and the metal part it slide on (three screws). Go under the dash (behind the ash tray) and you'll find a 10mm bolt or screw that holds the back of the deck to the frame. Take that out. The deck should slide out. Now I may have mixed part of the instruction from when I took out the deck on my 83 Accord. It's been a while since I did them so I may have mixed the two up.

    The stock stereo on my 89 LXi had 2 screws in the back. That's all that held it in so once those are out it's just harnesses after that.

    LOL Circuit city blows, well the one near me does. Installing a radio is not that hard. Try it yourself first and then if you can't do it then let them do it.

    yeah man, take the two screws on the back of the stereo, you should be able to see them if you look under the middle part of the dash. they may be high but you should be able to see them.
    take them out and pull the headunit out.

    gettin the radio out.

    1 - Recline the passenger seat all the way back.
    2 - Lay down on it upside down with your feet by the headrest.
    3 - Put your head by the foormat and get to those screws behind the radio that attach it to the frame.
