I have a 97 ex on coilovers and when you go about 35+ mph the front end feels like there is someone under the hood with a jack hammer... it only does it when u let off the gas... when you hit the gas it goes away some what... I replaced motor mounts and everything else looks good... kinda stumped now... been searching everywhere for some sort of answer... any help would be appreciated. ..

Maybe the wheels are out of balance. Maybe lost a wheel weight?

Wheels unbalanced, tie rods, motor mounts, loose lugs, bushings in the sway bar and control arms, etc.

Sounds like it could be a badly balanced wheel or a bad wheel bearing. Might also want to check the bushings on the front end just in case.
