Reported cause
The only issue was the holes for the two screws were not drilled out but easily fixed with a dremel.
Leading evidence: 'holes' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'holes' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it).

Its probably the first thing I'd want to attend to, and I'd like to get some advice on replacements.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi there folks just joined from sunny Portland Or, sunny for now at any rate.
Just got my 02 Speed Yellow Turbo about 3 weeks ago, and its in overall great shape aside from the jacked up front lip. Its probably the first thing I'd want to attend to, and I'd like to get some advice on replacements. I see knock offs, OEM and performance parts. The intention was to keep it as stock as possible but was quoted over $500 from both the dealership and the independent Porsche specialist down the street. Any advice? I am presuming I can easily install this myself.
Cheers
Welcome to the 996 family. Post some pictures, especially the busted front spoiler. Is this your first Porsche? If so, the first thing you need to check is the blinker fluid level. If it gets too low, it could blow your bulbs and possibly cause electrical issues.
Cheers!

Yeah, even though I'm all about OEM, just can't see spending $350+ on a strip of plastic so maybe this is it....

I recently took a chance and ordered one of these for my C4S (I believe this also fits the turbo):

Fit was actually good and I like the look of this more than the narrower stock C4S style lip. The only issue was the holes for the two screws were not drilled out but easily fixed with a dremel.
Install was easy. Remove the two screws on each end, the push the lip forward, away from the car to disengage the the lip from the bumper.
