I got the NACA Ducts at Summit Racing. They had to be bent a little to fit flush with the bumper, but they are pretty pliable. The screws are not really needed at this point as they are also siliconed in. I think these are the ones, they are actually 29.95 each.

How can you beat that price! I love the way it turned out too! How come you didn't use black rivets?

Thanks man! Yours look damn good too. Yeah for the price it is a really great option considering the ridiculous price of the Nismo ducts. I am still considering put some black rivets or screws in, still haven't decided whether I like the shiny silver screws or not... Everyone I talk to seems to think I should keep it as is.

What size hose you using? And how did you route it around the washer bottle?

Has anybody made a set of these with a somewhat respectable price?

3" hose, I actually removed the stock washer bottle and replaced it with a universal from napa for $8. I wanted the Stillen replacement tank, but they wont sell theirs without the complete CAI kit. I will eventually get some kind of CAI, so getting rid of the bottle was not an issue for me. You could theoretically flip the ducts I put in 180 degrees and route it the same way as the Nismo ducts. I didn't really like the idea of smashing the hose underneath the stock water bottle, getting less flow on one side seemed dangerous to me, if you are pushing your brakes to the limit having one side overheating. Maybe I'm just paranoid...
