Drilling holes in brainbuckets

Gentlemen,
I have spent the better part of the day researching information pertaining to drilling holes in the new style MICH/Gunfighter/High Cut with limited feedback. I figured that the QP's and maybe some other fellas in similar fields might have experience.

If I needed to install a 3 hole mount onto my 1 hole helmet, what steps should I take to install it?

My assumption is, that as soon as I tap for the hole, and start drilling, that the fiber will start fraying and looking like splayed 550 cord. And then defeat the purpose of wearing kevlar in the first place. Believe it or not, I am really hesitant about dropping another 500 dollars on another helmet with 3 holes .

Another threat to my modification that I was reading about on a boat forum was that Kevlar absorbs water, and if I cut into the membrane, it will expose the Kevlar. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Although, I could just go ahead and order the Ops-Core FAST helmet and save myself the hassle (1000 bucks!?!?!)
