This is also completely lowballing the LBS, labour and parts on a fender or a lock will seriously undercut the margin on a new bike. Unless the LBS is really ripping people on the price of a new bike, which I doubt, this is a completely unreasonable request. Which i'm sure they will tell you when you bring it up.
