Rich,
The best way to answer your question would be to call Alan or Maurice at Unique. However, after building a few Unique's, I think that I can safely say that you can remove that portion of the panel. It doesn't appear to be structural and is very thin. Its only purpose appears to be is a separator between the passenger compartment and the trunk. Its also pretty useful to stick the carpet to. If you are worried, you can always bond in a steel hoop hidden out of the way.
Take care,
Bruce
