My understanding is that the wiring harnesses put into our cars are basically 1 size fits all. Certainly I could be wrong about this, but don't assume that your car lacks the wiring needed for an alarm system, without confirming it from someone more knowledgeable than either of us.
My car doesn't have the hood switch wire hanging by the cowl, that's what would make me think it is not pre-wired?...
