I just thought I'd show you what I did, in case you want another option. 
I had a handheld CB for a while, and got tired of the spaghetti wires all over the cab.

These are cool mounts because they bend when you hit trees.

These are the same firesticks most everyone is using. They are 2.5 ft long.

Each side is tuned perfectly, if you take them off you need to mark them to avoid any problems.
Here is a shot of the cab. I pulled it under the cowl on the passenger side. The I used a small piece of aluminum to mount the holder to, and just used double sided tape to mount it out of the way on the side of the nav system. No holes.
You could run the wire on either side of the console and mount the handpiece where ever you like.

Here's the last pic of the handpiece mount.
I'm thinking of mounting my flip phone like this.

Looks great Rox! How do you like the dual antenna setup? Is the range that much better? I've never used a cb before, but figured I'd start looking into it seeing as a lot of you guys use them...

The dual setup is nice because I pull a trailer that is just a little higher than my H2. You could use one tall one and get the same effect, but I like the looks of this.(thanks to timgco) The dual antennaes allow a better 180 degree range for reception. (same for mounting them near the middle of the car.)
I ran the wires under the track for the x-bars and ran each wire thru each marker light. Most CB's recommed an 18 ft cable for each antennae, so there was plenty of length to put the module anywhere under the dash. I did all my wiring at one time for this rig. I didn't want to keep worrying about the marker lights not getting sealed properly. The only thing is, I would like to change the location of the Mic from the dash to the overhead console, but I'm not sure if I want the cord hanging down all the time.
