There are also 2 in 1 antennas that will do the radio and the CB together. A friend of mine had this and it didn't look too bad and didn't require any drilling for the new hole. It was from Radio Shack as well. That was in the 90s.

I did a quick search and this site has quite a few (including magnet mounts):

Good luck.
X2 On antenna to mirror mount...
I am planning on using a mirror mount antenna. The mag mount antenna will evenually scratch your paint.
