Best Buy and Circuit City should have a stereo kit
I am assuming that you mean a kit to install a standard single din radio into that obscenely large double din opening we have....

I would recommend buying the Metra kit, which actually screws into the same locations as the stock metal brackets do. (as opposed the extremely cheap kits which screw into the back of the trim panel.)
Not only does it offer a more sturdy mount for your stereo, it also creates a more flush installation which looks much better than having your head unit sticking out of your dash (I've seen a few like this)
I purchased mine at a stereo shop for around $10-$20.. can't remember exactly.

Same type of kit I used, the radio will stick out slightly (the width of the trim rim), but the kit mounts up flush. Just be careful when removing the stereo surround.....they can break easily and then make noises (rattles and squeeks).
If you don't know already, there are two bolts holding it in under the shift surround, pop it loose and remove the ashtray, you will see them.
The other two are a little tricky, you need to remove the vents at the top and there are two bolts mounted vertically and upwards into the dash. They hold a metal plate that is bolted into the surround. Break the plastic on the surround and you are done for...
Good luck.
