I like the black badges, looks great. But covering all the chrome up... i don't know about that. But in your case you'd have to cover the chrome if you have the black badges, otherwise it just wouldn't go together.

You need something to tie into the chrome headlight housings and the chrome on your windows is now gone.

Are you planning on changing your rims?

looks better than i thought it would. you should to black housing headlights and corners. your car looks really weird with no grill and the mesh stuff.

I've been wondering about that myself. Was that an intentional mod?

Wow, that is awesome, actually looks better than I thought too, infact the badging and the trim compliments your car colour very well.

FYI....for what it's worth

I saw a dark green grille from a 1992 ES300 for sale on E-bay today.
Item number: 160099369868
Might fit a '95 ES ($29.00)
It would need to be painted though with your black BBQ grille paint.
I would have suggested you chrome-plate it like mine, but then you are sort of 'anti-chrome' these days....hehe
