NoGaBiker is right on the quarter paint work. I just had my rear bumper replaced and a small crease above the drivers side rear wheel reworked (much less than your repair sizewise) and the shop did feather it in to the side of the car. You would NEVER know it was redone. Its so impressive. On the cost side I paid my deductible of $500 and the work was about $2100 total.

New Bumper
New Tail lamp
Rear Quarter work
4 Wheel alignment (just to be sure)

Hope this helps.
