Question Paint under VORTEX GENERATOR.................

I just got a vortex generator to kind of spice up the outside of the car. I'm a little concerned about the paint underneath. It looks like water would get trapped and mess up the paint (as the paint kind of sucks).....has anybody taken theirs off and checked out the paint??

OEM.....I actualy got it a long time ago when they were only being imported a few at a time and lost it in storage. The directions are in Japanese. I like the carbon-fiber one you carry better but I dont think it existed at that time.
