I picked up one right from an apple store here in MI.
Here's what I did:
1) Call and ask the person who answers the phone if they have the macpro airport upgrade kit. They will most likely say that they do have some in stock.
2) Ask them if there is really a need for you to unplug your tower and lug all 50 lbs of it in and have to bug their mac genius who I'm sure is busy enough already. The guy I talked to said normally yes but asked me if I had ever worked on apple hardware before. I joked and said as long as it's not as fun as fixing an old clamshell iBook I'd be fine. He laughed and said just to come in and get it.
3) Asked him his name and wrote it down as well as asked him if he'd be there when I thought I could get to the store. He said he would be.
4) go into the store and walked right back to the register tell them what I needed and handed them the post it with the part number and the guys name.
5) he walked over to the guy I spoke with and talked with him a minute, went to the back, brought out a small white box, and asked me if I knew how to put this in. Once again the joke about the clamshell iBook and the guy laughed and rang me up.
Done. I might have an extra one in a few days if anyone here needs one as well.
BTW a reseller is trying to sell me the card for $101, can they do that?! I may just tell them to forget it!

Anyone have any luck getting this done to their MacBook Pro yet?
I find locally the part is on backorder, got it on order at CDW. I did find a CompUSA who would do the install for me, but now they are closed and wont take any new repair orders. So I'm trying to find another repair center locally who can do the work.

And when you send your MB to apple to be fixed maybe they won't notice the super glue you put on it hold it all together.
