The labor cost to change the timing belt cost me $250 and I've done this job twice because I had another TL. That is the extreme low end because my mechanic is awesome. So consider $300-350 for you. The kit is on RockAuto for $215 CAD + shipping. I got the crank seal only as the cam seals are an extra hour of work and a bit difficult to deal with, and highly unlikely to leak from considering it is at the top end of the engine. Also get a OEM thermostat from the dealer ($60) while you're at it. The reason I change my timing belts? The timing belt tensioner makes rattling noises on cold starts. I do not follow the stupid 105K interval and just wait until the tensioner (weakest link) starts to make noise from lack of tension. The 2 pulleys were pretty worn but still not to the point of failure. I changed the original timing belt at 400K (kilometers). It's so smooth on start up now.

Rockauto has the Aisin kit, the most popular for $168.79. OEM parts without the Honda name on the package, or the OEM price.

As no one stated the part number, that certainly helps.
