Rust will not be a problem--the hatch is aluminum. But, if it makes you feel better you can always paint the freshly drilled holes with touch-up paint. Just pick up something close from your local auto parts store. It does not need to match perfectly since it will be hidden anyway.
As for leaking--I have not installed this on my Z, but I have installed "ebay" spoilers on other cars I have owned over the years. I am a bit OCD about preventing leaks. On the other spoilers I have installed, I used a rubber washer between the spoiler and the trunk lid, with a bit of silicone sealant between the rubber washer and the trunk lid. Inside the trunk I used more silicone sealant (much more) and a larger fender washer. I finished up by encasing the entire bit of hardware inside the trunk with even more silicone sealant.
