don't know about the jdm fronts but on most integra's its easy for the thief to get to the cable. So what i did was take my cable out from under my front left fender and routed it through my engine bay. He can do this to help, takes about 20mins. Don't know about the latch though.

I did the same thing (the hood cable relocation) You can still pop the hood. My friend pop my hood in less than 5 seconds.
