Default Car not getting up to full engine temp

The heat reading im getting on the consol is about 1/4th the way heated on HOT days, riding 3500 rpms on the highway at night its about 1/8th the way heated, as the needle reads, is this bad for the engine? should I just half cover the radiator (Not stock) with a peice of card board? or is this not a problem?
