I've done most of the work myself so far. I wouldn't recommend attempting this on your own unless you have all the right tools and lots of experience or someone competent to help you. I picked up a decent (rust free) rear quarter panel from a junk yard for $150. I drilled out all the spot welds on both the panel on the car and the section from the junk yard using a special bit I bought at a body shop - it looks like a mini hole saw. The section from the junk yard popped apart pretty easy. Honda puts some of this nasty glue behind the panel and I think that shit holds moisture and causes that section of the car to rust from the inside out! I have rust on the same spot on the other side of the car but it wasn't nearly as bad. My neighbor used to own his own body shop so he has been helping me with the welding since I don't have a MIG welder. It was a real bitch to get cut everything to match.
Here's the section of quarter panel before I started:
Here's the panel removed from the hunk of unibody:
Finally got everything cut to fit:
