I just got my 2015 Accord V6 (J35Y1) timing belt kit replaced at 112,000 with an AISIN kit which is a rock solid OE timing belt kit. I am very happy and confident with it.
Pros: happy and confident
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 112000 km
Aisin is the only belt kit. Everything else is ersatz.
Pros: best quality, only option
I’ve done them on Toyotas with more miles than this and they weren’t even starting to crack.
Pros: long lasting, no cracks
Vehicle:
Toyota
I use the same exact part that you bought. On mine I could see where they removed the word Lexus or Toyota from the mold. It's the same part as OEM. I replaced the water pump myself and it wasn't too bad but some of the bolts are difficult to get a socket on.
Pros: OEM quality, same as original
Cons: difficult bolts for install

Lexus CT
Mileage: 233354 km
I still changed my thermostat to an Aisin unit for peace of mind, so far so good.
Pros: peace of mind, good performance
Vehicle:
Lexus
Aisin THF-003 thermostat was used (I believe this is what I'm regretting). It's like the thermostat isn't opening? Everything else seems fine - it's clearly getting hot. Little to no heat at idle. No circulation = overheating of the engine. Is the replacement thermostat stuck shut?
Cons: thermostat not opening, overheating engine, little to no heat
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Part number: THF-003
