the only non-ex accord with sunroof(6th gen) is se which are all 2.3L

did you register the car yet ? when you register your car they ask for vin #
they should be able to tell you what model it is but if you have sun roof most likely is an EX.

It could be a LX with an aftermarket sunroof....
There's a company that makes power sunroofs, that not only look "factory", but are powered and have custom buttons, that match the interior of the car!

okay.

CHECK FOR ONE THING!!!

ONLY 2.3L EX HAS A REAR DISC
(abs, rear brake is only on ex 2.3L, all other DX, VP, SE, LX got a drum)

so check that and forget about all the aftermartet moonroof Bullshit

damn it, don't you ask when you at the dealer or something?

not always, I have an LX and it has a sunroof installed at the honda dealer. The VIN is the only way for sure to know what model it is (assuming that the VIN has not been messed with or altered)

Google Honda car VIN meaning to get how it is broken down

Not only that, but Mr.Speed is in Canada. Isn't their LX/EX lineup different from USA??

Got rear disk or drum brakes? I think that's the best way to tell, besides the VIN.
