The vendor looks great but this is a very time consuming and difficult job. This is not something that you want to have to redo because of a part of less quality than the Toyota part (even if you do get a replacement part free). This seems to be a case of penny wise and pound foolish. I would say go with Toyota in this case.

This is the one you should get. Gaskets are one of those things that are very important and you don't want to skimp out on them and buy generic Ebay brands. OEM is the only way to go.

Well, they are describing the kit as OEM (which is good) but then they indicate that the brand is Ishino, not Toyota. Do you know if Ishino is Toyota's supplier? How much does the Toyota dealer charge? I still think I'd shop some Toyota dealers (Prices vary and there are some that discount.) and get it direct from Toyota.
