Question Car cover in Hot Hot weather?

Is it a bad idea to put a cover on my car in Riverside? Would the heat be trapped under the cover and mess up my paint?

It's all good

I have a wolf cover and it keeps the car cooler because the cover is light grey and my car is black. I simply open the windows a little to let the inside of the car breath and lock the cover on the car. That's my 2 cents

i have one if you want to buy it off of me? ill throw in the lock too. its one of the best ones out there. its very thick and has a soft piece on the inside so not to scratch your car. pm me and we'll do something here. it is used but in great condition. i keep it in its orig box. i had it on my NSX and i no longer own that car so i dont need it. i bought it extra large to make sure it totally covers the front end and back end completely. it should fit like a large car so i dont think u should have any trouble with it on a subie even on a legacy size.
