There's kevlar, nomex and probably lots of others - at a price.
Back to my list - I'd think the underbelly spoilers would be the easiest modification. You could probably pull those old aluminum rear spoilers off wrecked suburbans, etc. and retrofit them underneath at a mild downward angle. Or just stretch across some tin flashing and bend it down where needed to smooth the airflow.
hey - maybe retrofit a couple of those black plastic hood protectors/ bug deflectors (go underneath and bolt a couple on upside down).

Neighbor Bob built doped Dacron over welded EMT skeleton bedcover for his Chevy truck.It was very rigid considering the scale of materials and very lightweight.------------ No doubt,a bellypan could be constucted likewise,with appropriate heat-shielding where necessary.With quarter-turn Dzus fasteners and weld-plates,it would be easy-on/easy-off.
