May not work for the chrom ones......cause the stupid chrome stuff tends to peel and bubble when wet. I am not sure what the CF and the black ones are made of though....

I've always wondered that if you have them ventilation if they would not fog up...normally condensation of cause by a difference in temperature. Perfect example is if you have a cold drink in a glass on a hot summer day, the outside of the glass will condense. If you drill holes, not only should would there be airflow to equalise the temperature difference, theoretically preventing it from fogging up, but it will give the trapped moisture to escape instead of condensing on the lense....just my C$0.0248470
