forum for "lucid rear" produces four pages of threads going back to 2001.
My opinion: worthwhile if you're going with headunit power only, as you
effectively double your output. I was happy with mine until I added an
external amp, now I just find them pretty irrelevant and may pull them.
Other people have found the rear fill useful even though they have plenty
of power up front.

IMHO, the rear speakers make a huge difference. 
Even though they're firing into the back of the seat, enough sound "leaks" out from back there to provide sufficient rear fill. It really is a night and day difference.
All you need is a pair of speakers, too. The stock head unit already has rear channel outputs to power them. That's because that same radio is also used in a variety of other Honda and Acura products which have 4 speakers.

The lucid panels are just the stock panels with holes cut out in them. That way you don't have to cut your own, and can return to stock if necessary.
I just cut my own panels. If I ever need to replace them, they're only $12 each:
