Uh, sure. It won't be an extensive guide, as I don't have any pictures of the build process, but I can explain how I went about it.
Step 1: Remove the faceplate on your optical drive
Step 2: (Optional, but advised) Attach a piece of adhesive velcro to the drive tray (I used the "hook" side because it provides more surface area for the glue you will be later applying to bond)
Step 3: Line up the foam padding with the drive tray lip and make sure you have a good fit. If you glue the front panel on crooked, you are out of luck. Trace a square on the back of the padding so you know where to apply glue.
Step 4: Apply glue on the rectangle you just traced and apply to drive (hot glue is not advised, gorilla glue is). Then coat the edges if you feel like it. Keep in mind that if you do coat the edges, you will have to watch for drips. Some expansion will occur after drying, so you might have to cut off any excess with a razor.
Step 5: Allow to dry
Step 6:????
Step 7: PROFIT
