I have an '02 Electron Blue coupe with a torch red interior. I had previously estimated 15 coupes and 6 verts. I like your numbers better.
I put red rail covers on and red calipers and I must say it looks great. I also added a red and black steering wheel and red and black armrest covers from VE. I get a lot of compliments on the car. I also added red inserts to the corvette letters on the rear. Lots of luck with it.

I really like that color combo. In my opinion, I would just paint the calipers red and leave the color inserts alone. I have never been a fan of the colored inserts, but to each his own. I do like the idea of the red fuel rail covers. I tried to get my 2004 torch red Z06 with all red interior to look a bit like the cars from the 60's but was told no way.

Not too sure I like it. 
I think what Torchblue said about having a few accents " I also added a red and black steering wheel and red and black armrest covers from VE." to go along with it would be more MY taste.
Mine is all black so thats what I'm used to seeing, if you like it, thats all that really matters.
Best of luck with it!

I don't hate it and Yes it is a very unusual find. I agree that it may cheapen it a bit to throw too much red on the exterior, engine compartment is another story. I would like to see some pics with the top up also. Overall great find very nice car.
Enjoy it's yours.
