Some do, many do not. From what I've seen it seems to break down by experience level/run group with the suited-up guys mainly being the advanced and instructors plus maybe a few running as intermediates.

I wouldn't expect to see a full suit on a novice driver.

I really dont care what the people in the pits think about me wearing a full blown race suit, but even personally, with out others opinions, I myself dont want to be out there trying to look like Michael Schumacher with my street car lol.
I think it'll quickly become apparent that you're no stranger to driving fast and hard on the track, and your appearance in paddock should only serve to show to anybody with half a brain that you know what you're doing.
