Yes, it is safe to cut away those areas. The areas you have marked off is just part of the boards ground. Make sure you are super careful when cutting the board because these boards can crack very easily. If you dont mind me asking, why the hell do you need to cut the board just to replace the shell???

I had a really good Xbox Controller, that I really liked and felt good when I used it. I have Pics of it at this Post

Or the post Re: putting my 360 controller into a new shell. Which is in the Beginners corner.
Thanks for the help! Any more questions just ask. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this.
