I ordered my tint from the same seller last year, and it was better quality than i expected.
The only thing is the back window needs to be heat shrunk, since it was a lot bigger then the back glass. but otherwise its been a year and no fading or purple, so I have only good things to say, besides its like $25.

i would say don't waste ur time with it... i ordered them/. few months ago n i installed them but had bubbles
... its lil bit hard to do... but not impossible ... i would say just go to auto zone and buy tint spray.. a lot easier .. or if u want to save money .. you can go to walmart.. or any other place.. n buy there tint i think walmart sells for like $7 a roll... enough for 1 car... and try to install that... only thing you paying for on ebay is that they are precut out thats it.... but i liked spray a lot better .... i went to shop and got mines done for $150 5% tint n life time warranty on them
heres link for ( tail light) spray but u can find it at ur local auto zone or pep boys ..

I did them on my 98 Max last month
Being precut helps a lot, but it's still a very tough job if its your first time. I screwed up and only managed to get 1 window on.
My advice is, if you've got the time and don't want to spend 100+, get that precut kit but remove all 4 windows to apply the tint
With the windows out it is very easy to do
Just get a squegee, use a proper soap solution (Johnsons and Johnsons), and remember to clean the glass thoroughly
I ended up taking out all 4 windows and have them installed pretty nicely, used the tints from Walmart just cause i didn't want to wait for precut ones to be shipped again
And each roll from Walmart is only enough for 2 windows or 1 back windshield, so you'll spend close to $30 getting 3 rolls from there anyway

+1 Did the same, good product and was properly cut... but I failed especially when it came to the small triangular windows in the back... nearly impossible to get it tight in there without crumpling the tint. shop around... paid 165 in charlottesville for pro work with lifetime warranty
was wonderig about this myself, since im new to the North VA/ MD area, being from miami, where every car has tint, and you can get the best film for 120 lifetime warranty , and the whole winshield for another 35 bucks, the prices uphere are ridiculous , 250, 300, wtf!! without the front winshield, 100 to remove old tint!! kidding me, i told one shop it wasnt a lambo! lol almost cheaper to drive 14 hrs to tint the car and drive back,... cant believe people pay that

I actually just tinted my gf car yesterday with the precut stuff. The only problems are that the cutouts are a little bigger then the actual window, so i can see how it would cause problems. I have used the precut for about 5 other cars I have done and they all turned out very well. Its honestly not all that hard to do; just need a steady hand and patience

im waiting on the kit to get here... the back small windows you can remove them for easier installation. and it only takes about a minute to take them out..
I am gonna do a how to if i can.. bc i didnt see anything for a 5th gen specifically. but make sure you clean the windows really really well... and its best if you do it in a closed garage so wind doesnt bring any dust in. also.. i recommend vacumming your entire car before to avoid dust coming up when you enter and exit.
