I'm using the front bumper "fangs" that stillen provided with their kit.

Maybe you could put a couple of generic NACA ducts on the undertray and use that as the air intake to the hoses.

I know someone here did this. He cut two openings on the Zspeed undertray. I'm trying to find the thread. The shop that I took my car to mentioned that as a possible solution as well.

For now, something related:

Pretty cool brake duct setup for rotors (GTR)

Edit: Found the thread, ducts @ undertray, Nismo bumper brake duct install

Think one guy cut his fangs out. Made a plate with 2 holes in it for each side. Can't find the post or the pictures of it.
