^I would tape them. You'll relish the tops of the bars when cruising, and bare metal bars with gloves is always a bit dodgy grip wise. Also will look better.
Tip for next time - don't use soap with rubber grips! Plain water or pure alcohol if you must, spraymount even better (must get them on quick though...) but plain old HTFU is the best way.
These aren'y my kinda frame but I think you've done a decent job. A tad too much red IMO; black tyres and perhaps a neutral chainring would improve it a lot.
