2009 Accent, 165K miles, absolutely no idea when (or if) the timing belt was ever replaced. RA shows a full kit (belt, tensioner, water pump, gaskets) for about $80...which seems incredibly cheap. Normally, I'd expect that to be white-box Chinesium, but it's from Aisin. (TKK-001 is the PN.) I haven't even looked at a timing belt in...a long time. Is Aisin still a reputable company?

Aisin is still good so far. Get the Aisin kit 
I've read so many posts in forums lately about major companies that were the standard for quality in their market, have sold out and moved to China. I try and verify and can usually validate, but I think you should be cautious.
Looks like Asin is the only player at Rockauto.. It just seems like that price is too good to be true, I mean its got the water pump too.
Actually, I just added up the parts as they stand alone and it does seem legit. Just do some research about Asin and I' say go for it.

Aisin makes pretty good kits for the Honda J30/J35 & Toyota 1MZ/3MZ, They use Mitsuboshi Belts which are well regarded.
They are....But the only part in a Aisin timing kit that's Aisin is the Water Pump, The rest is sourced from other suppliers like Koyo, NTN, Mitsuboshi.
They are most likely the Korean OE parts. That part number is listed as made in Korea
