Cut off the corners diagonally, making inverted ramps, to attach to the underbody of the car in front of each wheel. The same application behind each wheel would act as a fairing.

Each of these $5.37 polyethylene trash cans would make two deflectors.

Tough and resilient, these would resume their shape after hitting a curb.
