I think the srt-6's have this built in already.
Yes, the SRT's have a one inch lip below the original shape of the NA front air dam.

JHMK2 has it right. Lower the car.

While I was just ribbing about the "garage door gasket" I have seen it done often.
You can buy it at any Big Box home improvement center. It is Black so it hardly shows. You can mount it with tape or adhesives and replace it if you mess it up with road rash or parking lot concrete wheel stops.

I have done this myself on another car using the vinyl baseboard Coping strips. But they come in 4 foot lengths.

Very inexpensive. And cost little to keep fresh.

Hardly noticeable, it generally looks good. or at least, not tacky.

But the guys here will rib you for it.

If you are serious, lower the car. Several threads here on it. Then use this gasket to further close the front air dam to the ground.
Side skirts might also be an option, but pricey.
