nmm yes. my 96 accord ex is exactly like the 97ex. tan interior cd player all that and in paper it says 96EX-L L for leather ofcourse.
If the car has dual muffler tip then is EX. only EX has dual muffler tip stock.
also, I think only EX came with moonroof and a bunch of other stuff like, power seat.
