Looks OK, not sure about the non specific NAPA hoses. Maybe someone else will chime in concerning service.

if whats in the pictures is what you actually get.. then i say get it. all the parts shown are quality. you just have to ask yourself if you really wanna put a mitsubishi timing belt into your toyota.
Actually its mitsuboshi and their belts are fine since they make t belts that many dealers use to stock but now i beleive toyota has moved on to bando, gates, or dayco as their new supplier. The mitsuboshi is great and even has the timing mark lines with r & l cam to insure you get everything right on.

Only thing that would concern me in this entire kit is the Napa hoses.
Bando is an OEM supplier for Toyota. In fact, many Toyota belts are listed as "Bando Toyota" if you look at them. Toyota also uses Dayco, and Mitsuboshi in newer vehicles. I have used Bando for years on my vehicles, works great.
Aisin is 100% a factory OEM part. They even have to grind off the "Toyota" that is cast into the housing, so they can sell as "Aisin" parts, instead of
Toyota" parts. You will notice the left side of the water pump has a tiny ground down area. That used to say Toyota.
The "Stone" Valve cover set is made by Ishino, which is also OEM.
If you are paying top dollar, they should be including Toyota hoses. $360 is Top dollar (if you look around you can find it all cheaper) and cheap Napa hoses seems like the easy way out.
Btw, here is the exact same kit minus coolant and hoses for $100 less:

I can shed a little light on the question about the NAPA hoses. The 2 hoses are identical but one has to be cut to be used for the upper radiator hose. It doesn't have the same shape as the OE upper hose but it gets the job done. My current hoses came from carquest and are shaped just like the NAPA ones above.
I drained my radiator about 12 times by pulling the lower radiator hose off for a quicker drain. This ended up causing the carquest hose to get worn out enough that it began to leak slightly. I put a new hose clamp on and.called it good for a temporary solution.

i have no problem using mitsubishi parts. 98 percent of all cars have something mistubishi in them from factory anyways. i was just sayin since so many people on here are purists and you can only use toyota parts for anything you do. since you see "nobody can make better parts or fluid for our toyotas other than toyota" kinda mentality here all the time.

MitsubOshi. Not Mitsubishi.
Mitsuboshi is an OEM supplier for Toyota, just the same as Aisin is, as you know

Looks Ok to me.
Not sure what the sealant is for (maybe valve covers?). on all of the Toyotas I have done I didn't use any sealant on the water pump. I have always just cleaned the mating surface on the block and clean it again till its perfect, then use the gasket dry and torque down the way the FSM says to. Never had one leak.

I had a similar experience on my Subaru Forester XT and 3rd party hoses. They are made for multiple vehicles and I had to trim to fit. The bends were also slightly different. Not 100% but it worked. If it was a car I cared about and i had to do it again, I'd pay a little more for the OE hoses.
No sir. They are deemed unreliable and are just as bad as bosch

I went with the kit on Amazon. All parts were OEM. Came with all the driveshaft seals and other seals as well. Water pump had a gasket the kept me from having to put the liquid goop in.
Go with it. Don't look back.
