I had 20% on my old car and I hated this issue as well; hence when I got tint on the subi I choose 35% all around for this reason mainly...only advice is know your car and play it safe

I ended up getting the Cree LED reverse bulbs. The bulbs made a huge differences backing with with my camera. It's like a bright spot light behind me when I back up. In my opinion it's a must have for tinted cars.

try not parking so close to the curb, either level ground or on a hill, it works great. haven't scraped in years and it's easier on the tires.
