You can make your own sprayer for extremely cheap, providing you have a fluid bottle with pump already on the vehicle. You could use the OEM washer bottle if you didn't mind losing the washer function. I was going to do this with my old '97 Mitsu. GSX, utilizing the stock rear-wiper washer bottle in the cargo area, but I never upgraded to a front-mount intercooler before selling that car.
You could salvage a rear-wiper washer system from a wrecked '95-'00 Mistubishi Eclipse and save on the most expensive parts of the system (the bottle and pump) and spend the additional $10 to convert it using aquarium supplies from Wal-Mart. Of course, that's if you find that a stand-alone, aftermarket system is too pricey.
'05 IP(or ?) 6MT... ...Never too soon to think about modifications!!

I do not like methanol injection very much. I think it is a cheap way to get HP, if you can't do it on pump gas, of course you'll make better numbers on higher grade octane. But then if you run your car without the methanol injection you'll need a different tune because your car can lean out.

Wow! Great idea. :-) Huh... although, I probably would vote for the first approach over the second one.

My car makes 415whp without water injection and 406whp with water injection.. but that was with windshield wiper fluid. Since then I've switched to a 50/50 mix of water and methanol but I have not dyno'd. Water injection is a plus as long as you do not tune for it aggressively, if you do the minute you run out of fluid to inject you can probably kiss your engine goodbye.. i use it more for safety than anything and I've hit 11psi on my twin turbo kit with 4000 miles and no problems.

that's old school. yet very effective. I'ved used water/alcohol and a propane injection system (at different times) on my previous car, an 86 t-type. I've heard good things about using methanol too. FI cars will definitly benefit from atmomized injection because of it's cooling efficiency. Better yet with methonal.
