If you do end up cutting out I'm really curious what the difference is! I'm in the process of making a carbon splitter right now, so more carbon work might be in my future... I know I'm going to try my own headlight panels, but I may try a hood or door, too eventually.
I've known quite a few mechanics who recommend pulling the interior reinforcement once you have a full cage. In fact, pulling the a pillar supports gives more room for the cage and those pillars are actually pretty heavy on most cars.
If you look at your door cage, I bet it could take at least twice the abuse the little bent sheet metal in the factory door could.
