ok, I don't want to do full pix until I get the cladding and everything back on, but I officially have a '99 Copper Orange Mica VX.

HERE is a pic of the rig that shows how the color works with the red/black interior.

This color is gorgeous, it's exactly what I was looking for, so thanks again E Zoo Zoo One, I didn't mind being your guinea pig because now I can say that I'm the first!
