I think the C6 exhaust tips are some of the best looking stock exhaust tips I have ever seen. If anything I would use Z06 tips so get the same look, but a bigger size. Heck, I havent seen many aftermarket tips that look any better. Best of luck though!

Don't the Borla tips have their name on them? If so everyone will wonder how you got such a quiet Borla system... 
If I ever replace the tips it will because the new ones are attached to a new exhaust system.

I've had 4" quad B&B Bullets on my car for about 7 months. I recently took them off for a couple of weeks (long story - don't ask). During that time I had the stock exhaust on. They really look wimpy after the Bullets.
If all you want to do is replace the tips, I do a search of Magnaflows. I know they sell the tips seperately, and they really look good.
BTW, I put the Bullets back on earlier today, and I'm a happy guy again!

Because it would improve the looks of your car. But it all comes down to what different people think looks good. Certainly you don't think that your opinion of what looks good is the only right opinion, do you?

The wonderful thing about owning a car is it's your and you can do as you please with it. If the guy just wants the tips I say go for it. It his car and if he likes it thats all that matters. It a matter of taste. Personally there are plenty of things I wouldn't do to my car. Changing the exahust is on of them, but I'm not going to rip anyone for doing it. I'm not trying to flame anyone, or get a flame started. Just speaking from the other side of the fence. At the end of the day, the most important person regarding a car is the person on the title.

But to further make my point, you say you are happy with the looks ("I save my mod money mostly for performance parts. I think they did pretty good in the looks dept. already.) The majority of C6 owners would say the same thing about the performance. At 400hp, they did a pretty good job of that.
I'm not trying to be arumentative, and I too would like more horsepower. I'm just trying to make a point.
