Best way to minimize this damage (REALLY BIG PICTURES!)

Alright, So I am just curious as to how fixable this is. The damage isn't really bad, but it's enough to bother me so I am going to fix it as best as I can. I've used a buffer and all that, but have never done any actual bodywork, so I appreciate all the help I can get.

Here you can see scrapes in the paint on the body line by the headlight. any way to make it less noticeable?

If you can't tell, the quarter panel is bent out a little bit right by the wheel well. Paint is still perfect. Is there any way to possibly fix this?

again, thanks for the help.

If you can take pictures not zoomed in quite so much it would be a little easier to get a perspective on the extent of the damage.

Haha, pictures were a little bigger than I thought. I sometimes forget not everyone has the same size monitor that I do. I resized them all in photobucket, but they are still staying the same size. I don't know
here is a little further away. I used touch up paint where there was actually paint taken off (no thats not what all the paint on the floor is).

I mean, I've done it before, but it's not something I do often.

I was more curious about the quarter panel. Could a body shop possibly fix this for me without the need for a new quarter panel and paint?

It has been bent out a tiny bit where the bumper and quarter panel meet. I got the best pictures I could.
