Parts of other vehicles make very good aero mod part that can keep the vehicle looking stock.
You could use a large air dam off the truck or SUV on your car, it would look stock. You could build grill block plates out of other vehicles plastic bumpers, it would start to look less OEM at that point.
If you know the air dam is going to drag, better stick with lawn edging or conveyer belt.
