Looks awesome! If it were me, I would put the badges back on, but then I would plasti-dip them to be black.

I too will be doing the 5 speed swap soon. My torque converter is going out on me, and since I just replaced the tranny and Torque converter last summer, I cannot rationalize why I would try my 4th auto tranny in this VX, time to move on from the weak auto transmission.
