Long Term Storage - Use a cover?
I'm going overseas for about three months. I can park my Fit in a location where it would only have direct sunlight during the second half of the day. Should I get a cover for it?
I've heard horror stories about those covers doing pretty serious paint damage from the wind blowing and rubbing them against the body...

Definately get a cover. You will be shortening the life of your paint, and interior. Get a high quality car cover that has a lock. I have this one.
2009 Honda Fit Covercraft Noah Car Cover
Its a custom fit that has pockets for the mirrors and antenna. Also uses a bungee for the bumpers so it fits extremely snug. UV proof, water proof, and soft on your paint. Comes with holes and a cable lock so you wrap it underneath your car. There is 0 chance of this cover blowing off of your car.

if its only for 3 months i would just polymer seal it and just let it be. new cars sit at dealers more than 3months sometimes...
if it's more like a year then yah, i would get a cover on it.
