I didn't even remember  grid()... 
If you look at it, you see that it's a basic interface to  abline.   -> 

1st) solution:

   abline(h= y.vec, v = x.vec,  col = .., lty =.., lwd = ...)

2nd) solution, more closely linked with asking for
    ``grid where the labels are'' : Use the "tck"  par() :

   plot(1:10,axes=F, frame=T)
   axis(1, at=1:10, tck = 1)
   axis(2, at=2*(1:5), tck=1)

  However, I don't think you can set `col', 'lty',... of these

  [--> Do we need more  par()s , such as   col.tck, lwd.tck, lty.tck ,
      or at least new axis arguments ?   Paul ?
