Windshield. I put a black low profile cobra windshield w/ white checkers on my 96 XLT and it made it look sweet. Just be aware that as it may look cool you will also feel cool as it does not deflect the wind around you nearly as well as the stock one. Colored plastic ski's look nice as well. If you ain't got the bling for the ski's right now I'd say colored ski skins.

My favorites:

Duct tape holding part of my windshield together.

Ingenious use of zip ties and clothesline rope to secure the snowflap I broke jumping on black lake last year.

i think some of the cheapest ways to make a sled look good are
1) headlight cover - i think the transparent ones look the best
2) Colored Snow Flap
3) Handle Bar Grips and Handlebar Wrap (colored)
4) If your still running steel skis skins look real sharp
5) Colored Hood screens
6) Running board grips
7) Ski loops for plastic skis

More expensive upgrades:
1) Windshield
2) Belly pan protecter
3) Colored skis (plastic)
4) If studded, colored stud backers look good
5) Custom Painted Hood

if you got a new pair of skis, that would really make that sled look sweet.

How about the naked GF on the seat while you stand back and look at both of them? It's a good add-on!

ProTaper-style bars, a nice set of risers, most of the stock graphics removed (especially the case for older Polaris' and Cat's ) and everything just cleaned up and shiny! Oh, and of course the non-functional chrome windshield that barely covers your balls!

accutaly smart ass it does make you go faster the fox stickers alone gave my sled a 1.7 60ft time the handle barz added 12 mental hp the hand guards well they just look plain badass! the low chrome wind sheild keeps your balls from sweating allowing you to move with maxium comfort, and the skid plate makes it more aero dynamic or however you spell that
